In 1993, he and Nancy moved to California, beginning a life filled with love and adventure. He built a successful career as a pre-construction sales engineer with Pacific Rim Mechanical. Tim's integrity and expertise ultimately led to his becoming a part-owner of a company he loved and was deeply proud of. Tim truly lived life to the fullest. He was an avid scuba diver, waterskiier, sailor, surfer, softball coach, woodworker, craftsman, race-car driver, and boater. He shared his passions with his family, ensuring his legacy as an adventurer would live on. Tim fulfilled his lifelong dream of building his own log cottage on his beloved Chandos Lake, next door to the one built by his dad/.. His genuine and loyal character was reflected in his large and diverse circle of friends from all facets of his life. Tim was immensely proud of his wife and daughters, and was always their biggest supporter in every endeavor.
