His Mother Maggie is a published author and motivational speaker.
Tim's first paid job at the age of 15 was as a camera operator for church broadcasts in central Florida and on his family's award winning Spanish children's television program Lugar Secreto, a series he was directing by the age of 16.
Tim earned his bachelor's degree, (a double major in TV Production and Theatre Production) from Evangel University in 1987. He would later, at the age of 50 earn his MFA in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design. His career has included work as a camera operator, director, technical director, floor manager, writer and lighting director in television; a writer, camera operator, gaffer, director and director of photography in film style productions for documentaries, commercials and short subject films. Besides his work for the screen, Tim has directed close to a dozen plays for the theatre where he learned valuable techniques in motivational acting and the importance of a collaborative director/actor relationship. Tim insists on an open, friendly, fun, and collaborative set, and works hard to foster artistic cooperation and teamwork.

He resides in Lakeland with his wife, Andrea, and their two dogs. They have two grown daughters, one an architect and the other a second lieutenant in the US Air Force.
