Tim Hamen earned four letters in basketball at Findlay while twice serving as team captain. Hamen’s leadership is evidenced by his balance of 1.420 career points, 18th all-time at UF, and his 471 assists, third all-time for the Oilers. He was named Second Team All-Mid-Ohio Conference and honorable mention All-Great Lakes Region in 1994-95. In 1995-96, Hamen was named National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division I honorable mention All-America, First Team All-Mid-Ohio Conference, and First Team All-Great Lakes Region. He earned honorable mention All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) honors in 1998-99.
Hamen was an accomplished student-athlete, receiving the Dana Scholar Award for Business in 1998 and earning national Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II Academic All-America honors for 1998-99. The talented left handed point guard lost a season to injury, but returned to complete four banner seasons. The Oilers posted an 85-36 record during Hamen’s career, including two appearances in the NAIA Division I national tournament, going 2-2. While he was a junior, the Oilers won the South Division during their inaugural season in the GLIAC. Hamen can attribute his fine career to his philosophy. “It’s not the success that an athlete experiences but rather the challenges, the failures and the adversity that makes participating in sport so valuable.”
A technology project manager for Fidelity Information Systems in Indianapolis, Indiana, Hamen has also served as an independent consultant on technology initiatives in the financial service industry. He and his wife of eight years, Mishawna, reside in Indianapolis.
