On leaving secondary school Tim completed Theological studies and a Bachelor Arts Degree, majoring in English Literature, was ordained as a Catholic Priest and served primarily in the Education field when Drama-in-Education became his passion.

In 1990 he was one of the original founders and artistic directors of The Improvisors and has performed thousands of times whenever businesses have wanted to celebrate, educate or facilitate change. This work in the Government and Corporate Sector has included many Roles as Emcee and/or Facilitator for Conference and Workshops. Tim is a skilled motivator and there was none of the HEAVY words around strategic planning and objectives, goals and the other phrases that conjure up boring and unproductive sessions.

On Television Tim has made a meal out of the thirty-second bite as one of the most prolific commercial faces in New Zealand. As a screen actor, his most recent credits include the grieving Dad in Stuart McKenzie's haunting movie, For Good; the crooked Councillor in Larry Parr's Fracture and the misogynistic bloke in Adam Steven's Beautiful for which he won Best Actor at the Drifting Cloud International Short Film Festival. In fact, since 1990 Tim's full time commitment has involved most forms of the media - performer, actor, actors' agent, producer, director, writer, publicist, administrator and marketeer - although the best job he has ever had is being the dad to his two little boys.

Since 2003 Tim has appeared on the stage with a playwright's script in his head at Circa (A Midsummer Nights Dream, Soulmates, Wait Until Dark, Four Flat Whites in Italand Gunsmoke) and at Downstage (Up for Grabs.) Tim is a 5 times Wellington Theatresports Champion.

In March this year Tim appeared in the joint NZ/French production The Letter Writer as part of the NZ International Festival of the Arts.
