I was raised in Robinson, IL. And went through elementary school there. I went to high school in Martinsville, IL. graduating in 1973. After finishing school I moved to Oblong, got married and started a family. Rita and I had 4 children whom all attended Oblong Schools. We currently have 9 grandchildren who all live within an hour from us so we spend quite a bit of time enjoying them. From 1974-1982 I worked in the construction business. I did remodel work, roofing and new construction. I went to work at Marathon Refinery and worked there for 28 years. I started in Operations, working night shift which enabled me to still do construction work. I later transferred to the Maintenance Dept., where I eventually became a Maintenance Foreman. After retiring from Marathon, I went back to construction work full-time which I am still doing. I have always enjoyed the Real Estate business and working with people so I decided to get my Realtor license.

Tim loves all outdoor sports and loves to hunt and fish. He loves the challenge of finding the spot for the big buck or the big bass. He gets this same “rush” while searching for the perfect home for a family or trying to find a buyer that fits a listing. “The hunt is the exciting part, then the work starts.”
Tim worked 18 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections in recreation, counseling and the last 15 years in Correction Education. Tim is now the Pastor at Outer West Market Church of Christ in Palestine, Illinois. Just like the Real Estate Business, Tim is always looking for new and exciting ways to grow his church.
