He worked for the Oneida County Sheriff's Department for several years and later worked at Whites Farm Supply as an equipment salesman.

In his earlier years, Tim was an avid downhill skier as well. Tim belonged to many organizations and helped out with many charitable events. He was a member of the Sampson Pond Hunting Club in Childwold and sat on the Board of Directors for the Boonville Woodsman Days for 30 years. Tim's passion was his beloved horses, Toby and Rick--The Double HH Percherons. Tim was always proud of his team, taking them to many shows and even became eligible to show at the 16thWorlds Percheron Championship in 2014, where he was awarded 15 ribbons out of a possible 16. He enjoyed giving rides for local events around the North Country and was always willing to give a helping hand to anyone that asked. Tim also enjoyed Jezebel and Kali—their family dogs. His heart was as big as him and always enjoyed time spent with his family and friends. It wasn't often that he did not have a smile on his face. .
