TIM's Story
Hi, y'all. I am hoping to be short but sweet, then fill in the gaps later. After I graduated in 1979, I worked in the optical field until 1987. In 1983 I started to go to Galilee Baptist Church in Denver where I met my best friend Melody Clark and got married on Aug 30, 1986. By Jan, 87 I was in the US Navy. I was officially a Hospital Corpsman but Specialized in the eye. I had three boys; David 12/14/1987 born in San Diego CA, Steven 12/19/1991 born in Newport News VA, and Joseph 04/01/1993. born in San Francisco CA. Melody took care of the boys while I worked.

ip I have been to Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Australia, and Hawaii. I got out of the Navy on Aug 21, 1998, and in Jan 2000 we moved to Dallas/Fort Worth area where we live to this day. Since 2000, I have gone to Culinary School and cooked for about 15 years. In 2016 I tore 95% of my rotator cuff so I had surgery to fix it. I could not lift heavy things as I have done in the past, so I am now working for H&R Block as a Tax Professional. I have just completed my second year and I am liking it except it is SO DIFFICULT. One more note: A year ago on July 29, 2020, I had Brain Surgery to fix an artery that was twisted and was compressing on a couple of Crainial Nerves. The surgery went well, problems are fixed. I only deal with Itching, Headaches, and Numbness. I hope that sums it up for now. I don't know if anyone will see this, but here it is.
