Tim grew up in Toluca, Illinois, a very small community in Central Illinois. From the time he was 12 years old, he wanted to become a funeral director. Tim attended the University of Minnesota and graduated with a degree in Mortuary Science in 1982.

Spending time with friends, enjoying Broadway Shows in metropolitan cities, traveling to visit family, and cooking and entertaining at home truly occupy Tim's time when he is not at work. Exploring near Grand Rapids and the northwestern part of Minnesota is something Tim has enjoyed.
