Tim grew up in Michigan and California, as one of seven children in a middle class family where Tim’s father was a chemist, and his mother was a Registered Nurse.
When he was eleven his parents allowed him to earn money in the neighborhood by doing yardwork, cutting firewood and collecting pop bottles. That was the start of his first business and Tim learned the value of hard work at early age!
Because of his solid upbringing, Tim was able to pay his own way through college, first by working at a factory in Los Angeles and then later, at age 20, starting a business that improved forest management by strategically removing timber in Plumas and Lassen National Forests. He spent three entire summers in the woods using a chainsaw, cooking meals over an open campfire for the crew that he hired, and sleeping in a tent each night.
Tim graduated with a BS Degree from University of California’s Berkley School of Natural Resources in 1976. He completed his Master’s in Business Administration degree in 1982 from Pepperdine University while working full-time for AT&T.
Tim is truly patriotic and was involved in politics at the young age of 15 by working on a state senate candidate campaign.
He was also a Northern California College Coordinator for the 1972 presidential campaign directed by Ronald Reagan.
In addition, Tim was appointed as a young delegate for the National Republican Convention. Since then, he has fervently supported patriotic candidates through emails, telephone surveys, blogging, and donations.
