Tim began his career as a plumber at a young age, working for various plumbing shops in Oregon, Wyoming, California, and Washington. When the “oil boom” hit Wyoming, Tim moved there to provide plumbing services for new construction. He earned his journeyman’s license in October of 1986, which allowed him to open his own business in November of the same year. His business was well known in the community as “AAA Plus Plumbing”. Tim continued his business until 2006, when he had to retire due to chronic health conditions. Tim was an active political activist fighting for the rights of people. He enjoyed many late nights building CB radios for friends. “The flying Dutchman” is well known to many. Additionally, Tim was an avid gardener and a patient fisherman.
