Tim then moved to Illinois where he married his current wife. He had custody of his daughter from his first marriage. His wife had a son from a marriage from before. Later they would adopt a set of twins. Tim was a twin himself. Tim then took on a new challenge as he entered the Department of Corrections in Illinois as a Correctional Officer. He not only became a Correctional Officer, but was proficient and respected by those he watched over. He had become a legend throughout the state, as an officer you didn't want to test.
