Timothy "Tim" Michael Brauch (April 26, 1974 to May 9, 1999) was an American professional skateboarder who grew up in San Jose, California. Brauch came up in skateboarding during the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period of skateboarding when professionalism meant small paychecks and little fame outside skateboarding, but lots of travel, experiences, and good times with friends and like-minded skaters.

  • Timothy "Tim" Michael Brauch (April 26, 1974 to May 9, 1999) was an American professional skateboarder who grew up in San Jose, California. Brauch came up in skateboarding during the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period of skateboarding when professionalism meant small paychecks and little fame outside skateboarding, but lots of travel, experiences, and good times with friends and like-minded skaters. At age 15 Tim got sponsored by Sessions, followed by sponsorship by Vans, Independent, and New Deal, with led to his first video part, in the New Deal video Useless Wooden Toys. Not long thereafter, Tim made the switch to Santa Monica Airlines out of the local NHS stable, and his first pro model was on SMA, in 1992. Tim's association Joel Gomez and Sessions continued, eventually leading to the establishment of the brand Este, a portmanteau for "S" and "T," representing Tim and his good friend and fellow San Jose professional Salman Agah. Tim helped design the Este line. In the mid 1990s, Tim made the switch from Vans to etnies Footwear, although he remained close to Vans honcho Steve Van Doren throughout his life. When SMA closed its doors, Tim made the easy switch to Santa Cruz Skateboards, which was the company he road for until he passed away.
