Tim attended Beatrice High School and earned his GED. He married Elaine Rathman and they later divorced. Tim worked at BSDC and held numerous farming jobs including as a farm hand for Gayland and Marcia Regier. Years ago, Tim met his guardian angel as he was working for a drilling company and thought he heard someone call his name.

He married Hope McGinty on July 6, 1994. Years later, Tim and Hope operated the Ice Cream Truck in Beatrice with their children, Dillon and Dezirae.
