Two years after being born in El Paso, Texas, Tim’s father, an Air Force Officer, took their family on the road, moving them from Hawaii to Florida and many states in between. Tim grew up meeting new people at every stop on the way. When he wasn’t out making new friends he would often sit in his room for hours listening to his favorite LPs: The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Dan Fogelberg and Dennis Wilson’s Pacific Ocean Blue. He also enjoyed watching classic movies from the '30s and '40s, at times setting his alarm clock to catch the 2:00 a.m. showing of Errol Flynn’s Captain Blood or John Wayne’s Stagecoach before setting off for a full day of school.
Eventually, Tim found himself out on his own but still living the vagabond lifestyle. After a short stint at the University of Florida studying theater, a few months in Los Angeles checking out the movie scene and a short stay in New York City, Tim ended up back in Florida where his musical talent was put to use. He had been writing songs during all these moves and now began meeting other musicians and playing at local bars in St. Petersburg and St. Augustine.
Though Tim enjoyed playing live while in Florida, he preferred spending most of his time in his small apartment studio working on his songwriting craft. He had been writing lyrics since as long as he could remember and had been playing the guitar since the age of sixteen when he decided to become a songwriter.
Tim finally returned to his birth state of Texas where he quickly realized he belonged. Tim did not waste anytime learning about the state and its well-known music scene. He was like a kid in a candy store, writing the songs that appeared on his first CD, Fabletown, released in 2006.
