A graduate of Belmond High School, class of 1975, Tim enlisted in the United States Navy. He was stationed on the Los Alamos dry dock as a crane operator.

Tim was a member of the Ventura Volunteer Fire Department and First Responders for several years. He enjoyed collecting and shooting guns, riding motorcycles and spending time with his many dogs over the years. More than anything, he cherished time spent with family. He was a wonderful, loving husband, father, grandfather, son and brother.
