Tim enlisted in the U.S. Navy following high school. He was very proud to have served his country for eight years. Tim's last patrols were on the USS Greenling SSN 614, a fast attack submarine.

The couple moved to Two Rivers in 1969 where he worked for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant until retirement. He found Lake Michigan shortly after moving to Two Rivers.
