Born in Los Angeles, CA four days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Tim moved to St.
Louis when his mother Helen (nee Canelis) married Jerome F. Tegeler. He attended
schools in the Ladue school district and Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, VA
before graduating from the University of Arizona in 1964. After service in the Missouri
Air National Guard, Tim began his career in the investment business with his father’s
firm Dempsey-Tegeler and Co. Thereafter, Tim joined Stifel, Nicolaus and Co. for
several years.
In 1982, Tim joined the Board of Directors of Siboney Corporation and became CEO
and Chairman in 1983. Reorganizing the company, he built a subsidiary, Siboney
Learning Group, into a leading provider of educational software in the United States. He
retired in 2009. In 2000, Tim was inducted into the University of Arizona School of
Entrepreneurial Studies Hall of Fame.
Over the years, Mr. Tegeler served on several institutional organizations, primarily as a
Board Member of Mercy Hospital Foundation and a member of Saint Louis University’s
Council. Tegeler Hall at SLU is named after his father, which Tim has supported for
more than 40 years.
Tim was a member of Algonquin Golf Club having served on the Board for 9 years and

staff. In 2021, Tim and Nancy started a 501c3 not-for-profit called the AGC Employees
Educational Foundation which raises money to provide higher education scholarships
for Algonquin employees and their families, which to date has awarded more than
