Tim had a tough childhood, his mother was a heavy drinker so that made Tim spend a lot of time with his grandmother. His father was always working as a woodcutter or fisherman, so he was gone all the time. When Tim got out of high school, he worked two jobs and used the money to buy a motorcycle. He still rides to this day. He was working on his own, painting houses and hanging sheetrock, when he took up grappling and boxing. About a year went by and he started playing semi-pro football. When his first grappling tournament came about, he took first place in his division and a passion was born. He was put on a mailing list and the opportunity came about to do an NHB fight in Rhode Island. So he paid the $50 entry fee, knocked out his opponent in 17 seconds, and found a new calling.
