About Me

Hi my name is Timothy and I'm just an old punk who won't grow up. Now I don't mean I can't handle My biz, I just won't conform to what the mainstream says is the norm and I will not take part in it. I love art, music, skateboarding, slam pits & stage dives. I stay true to My friends and family,I played in a band called focused for 8 years, and We started a revolution some would say in the christian music scene in 1990 I was asked in an interview once what our music sounded like, I thought about it and I replied spirit-filled hardcore. Went out and got it tattooed on My ankle and the rest is history. Hardcore punk had been around since the days of Black Flag in the very early 80's. But there was nothing like what We were doing in christian music. In the following years the scene exploded with different bands like Outnumbered, unashamed, strong arm & six feet deep just to name a few. But We had a desire to play for non Christians, and so we became friends with bands like Strife, Mean Season, outspoken & Downset. And played with Earth Crisis, Snapcase & unbroken. Who were major players in the straight edge scene, and those times will never be forgotten I got the chance to see the U.S.A. on three tours & made alot of friends who will never be forgotten but My life in and out of the band was to serve GOD. Who took a total screw up like Me & gave Me a second chance. I'm not perfect and I still screw up, but Christ died for Me that I might live forever. So stay gold & never give up the race.
