Tim's Story
Life
My life bio? I have to write my LIFE bio?! But I haven't written anything since Mr. Cox's English class. Am I getting graded on this? Hope not. Anyway, enough stalling. Where have I been? What have I done?
After graduation in Â84, I spent the next 6 years at Arizona State trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life. First it was Architecture, then Aerospace Engineering. When I could no longer stand paying tuition to Âfind myself (or was it the heat?) I completed a four-year business degree in two years and got the hell outta there.
The year after college was spent on the beaches of Southern California, and though I enjoyed myself immensely, that life wasnÂt for me either. So I packed my suitcases and moved back to the Windy City. Before coming to Arizona in 1980, I called Chicago home, and it was good to be back. Since my father still lived there I took the opportunity to catch up on time missed with him. I spent my summers sailing on Lake Michigan, and my winters skiing the Midwest and Rockies. And though I still hadnÂt decided on a career, there was plenty of money to be made doing whatever.
It was also in Chicago that I met Marni, my beautiful wife of seven years. That was in March of Â93 on a ski trip to Boyn...Expand for more
e Mountain in Michigan. Marni took some convincing, but finally agreed to go out with me that summer. Our first date was a Jimmy Buffet concert over Labor Day Weekend. And we have been inseparable ever since. We were married exactly four years later, Labor Day Weekend 1997. For our honeymoon, we backpacked thru Italy and Bavaria for a month. Marni and I both live to travel, especially in Europe. We have been back twice since the honeymoon, and were in Amsterdam during 9/11.
Since we met skiing, that has been a defining passion of our life together. A month after returning from Europe, we packed the moving van, said goodbye to my Dad, and MarniÂs parents, and moved to Denver. We figured, Âwhy pay to fly to Denver five times a winter to ski when we could just live there? We try to get in at least 25  30 days a season. And when we were not skiing, we were planning our next big get-away.
The next big life step was the birth of our son, Casey Ryan, on December 15, 2003. Casey was born 11 weeks premature and spent much of his first months of life in the Neonatal ICU. But we are happy to report that he is now a happy, healthy bouncing baby boy.
So thatÂs me in a nutshell. Twenty years in 500 words or less. No regrets. No complaints.
