Tim was born in Seattle, WA. in
1953. He began playing piano and trombone in the 4th grade at Greenlake
Elementary School. In Jr. High School (John Marshall), he took up the
guitar, electric piano, organ and harmonica, singing in local bands. In
the 9th grade, he started playing the bass guitar, which eventually became
his main instrument. Tim graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1971 and
studied music, primarily voice, at Seattle Central Community College for a
year before becoming a full-time professional musician (which he is proud
to have been for the past 35 years).

Several successful
artists from the Northwest that Tim has performed with include: Robert
Cray, Diane Schuur, David Lanz, Kenny G., and Scott Cossu. Also, legendary
N.W. artists such as Mark Lindsay, Merrilee Rush, Tiny Tony & the
Statics, Ron Holden (as well as his brothers Jimmy and Dave), The Wailers,
The Sonics, The Kingsmen, Don & the Goodtimes, The Fleetwoods, Dave
Lewis and many more.
A band from Seattle that Tim is
particularly proud to have co-founded with Rich Dangel (The Fabulous
Wailers, Floating Bridge) was a 7-piece R&B, soul, blues band called
The Reputations. They played all over the N.W. from 1980-85, backing such
recording artists as Buddy Miles, Etta James and Big Joe Turner.
Tim has been playing in bands since 1966. After living in Los Angeles for
a year in 1974, he eventually moved there in 1985. He still goes back to
Seattle though, visiting family and playing gigs with his many hometown
friends.
