Tim was born in 1958 in Jacksonville North Carolina, into a very musical household. His mom played hymns on the piano and his dad learned every tune Bill Monroe ever played and sang! Shortly after his 13th birthday, his dad sat him down in the living room and taught him the chords to his first song, Wildwood Flower.

After playing the trombone for 6 years in junior and senior high schools, Tim landed the solo guitar position in the high school jazz band. From there he played in many local bands, with many local musicians until graduation in 1977.

In 1981, after a 4 year hitch in the U.S. Navy, Tim relocated to Atlanta Georgia where he got married and had children. While in Atlanta he played with many blues bands & blues musicians. This is where Tim picked up his signature guitar style. "Playing with so many diverse musicians really taught me a lot about tone & timing" After 13 years in Atlanta, Tim and his wife Peggy decided to head south to St. Petersburg for warmer weather. His first weekend in Florida he landed a gig with a local female fronted band.

Since then he has played with many Pinellas bands & musicians including, Ozona, Hard Truth, Gunn Hill Road, Kenny Flint Band, Back To Back, Liquorbox, Wild Energy, 60 Cycle Hum, 151 Band, Sheri & The Vision, Shaky Ground, Burncard & Kickin' Again. Today Tim continues his lifelong quest for perfect tone & timing!
