Tim picked up his first instrument at the age of five. By the age of eighteen, he had picked up 10 more. He concentrates his efforts now on saxophones, ewi, voice, guitar, and hand drums.
While a relatively unknown name, chances are you have heard him on any number of radio and TV commercials, singing the praises of such products as Murray Bikes and Valvoline. He has literally hundreds of commercials under his belt.
His studio work doesn't end with jingles though. He has recorded with many artists such as Nora Wixted, Sally Townes, Big Daddy 'O', Irene Sage, Louie Ludwig and the Dream Kings, and Waylon Thibodeaux. He also recorded with and created the vocal arrangements for Willit Hopkins out of Nashville (a rare apprearance for him in country music). As a result of his vocal work, he is a voting member of NARAS (The Grammys). In 2001 he was named Saxophonist of the Year by Tambalaya Magazine.
He had a brief stint as Musical Director for Ray Peterson (may he rest in peace), writing arrangements and conducting pit orchestras throughout the country. Ray had 7 gold records including "Tell Laura I Love Her", "Corina, Corina", and "The Wonder of You".
Tim is a live performer as well, as you can see from the photos. He splits his work between saxophone and vocals for most shows, but occasionally works as a backup vocalist for such artists as Keely Smith. When not performing, Tim works as a vocal coach.
