After short stints at SDSU and the Navy, a disillusioned Tim moved to Calgary, Alberta, where he met Joan, a Saskatchewan farm girl, and damn good cook! We have been married for 30 years. While in Calgary, I delivered oxygen and set up equipment for respiratory patients.

As Calgary approached 400 thousand people (Now 1.2 million), we decided to leave the hustle and bustle, and moved up North to a commune of Igloos, where the sun never sets in the Summer and never rises in the Winter. When the bottom dropped out of the ice cube market, we closed our eyes, put our fingers on the map, and ended up in Lethbridge, Alberta, a community of about 100,000 people.

Here I have worked as a parts man in the Welding Supplies and Major Appliance Businesses. I took Irrigation Management from the University of Alberta and worked at waterlogging the soil of Southern Alberta for many years.  I missed my chance at fame and fortune by declining a job in Saudi Arabia installing Pivot Irrigation Systems for the Arabs. I then went back to school at Lethbridge College and became an Electronics Technician. I worked for Rogers/AT&T as a service manager.
