Tim grew up north of Utica in Waltham Township. He attended Waltham Grade School, graduated from LaSalle-Peru High School with the Class of 1975, and later attended Northeast Missouri State University.

A dedicated and hardworking man, Tim explored many paths in his early years, including masonry, construction, and farming alongside his brother. In 1983, he found his true calling when he helped found Missouri Potato Company. His passion for agriculture and business deepened, and in 1990 he became a founding member of Heartland Farms in Hancock, Wisconsin. He spent the remainder of his career there as Marketing Manager, playing a vital role in helping the company grow into one of the nation's premier potato producers. Tim was widely respected as a tough but fair negotiator.

Outside of work, Tim loved supporting his children and grandchildren. He took joy in helping his daughter Erin with her dance recitals and proudly attended his grandsons' martial arts events. He also enjoyed collecting Toyota Land Rovers and took part in competitive shooting.

Tim will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his loyalty, and his deep love for his family. His presence, guidance, and humor will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
