Once a teenage rock & roll frontman, Tim put his music career on hold to pursue engineering, build a business, raise a family, and lead in his community—until that unforgettable night reignited his creative fire. Since then, he’s moved to Nashville, written and recorded original songs, and embraced a second act that blends raw vulnerability, life experience, and heartfelt storytelling. Tim’s music explores the full spectrum of life—love, pain, joy, and redemption—with the goal of inspiring others to be the best version of themselves. A man of deep faith and honest reflection, Tim believes his purpose is to raise good kids, protect what matters, and connect with people through the power of song.
