The Kiefer family has been in Wisconsin longer than Wisconsin has been a state. Tim's ancestor Peter Kiefer arrived in Wisconsin from Germany in 1846, two years before the Wisconsin Territory became a state in 1848. Tim himself grew up in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. He first moved to Dane County at age 17, when he started his undergraduate studies at UW-Madison in the fall of 1989.
The son of a secretary and a telephone lineman, Tim was the first person in his family to go to college. He earned his bachelor's degree from UW-Madison in 1993 and his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1998. He has been a member of the Wisconsin State Bar since 1998.
