Since Chopstick Theater (Charleston, SC) hired him away from a string of dreary temp jobs in 1985, Tim has plied his trade as an actor in venues from Maine to Florida to Texas. Highlights of this journey include Flat Rock Playhouse (Hendersonville, NC), Northern Lights (Hazelhurst, WI), Stage One (Louisville, KY), Chaffin’s Barn (Nashville, TN), Theatre IV (Richmond, VA) and Dollywood (Pigeon Forge, TN) where he created the role of arch villain Silas Barnaby in the original cast of Dollywood's Babes in Toyland. The opening night performance featured Dolly Parton herself singing a song written especially for the occasion.

While performing in a touring production of Relative Madnesss at Playwrights Horizons theater in New York in the mid-90’s, Tim attended his first audition in The City. It landed him the role of Alexandre Manette in Wendy Kesselman’snew musical adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities produced by Stage One and performed at the Kentucky Center for the Arts in Louisville, KY. Moses Goldberg directed.

For five years while listed on the South Carolina Arts Commission roster of approved theater artists, Tim served as Artistic Director of The Baillie Players, a small touring company based in Columbia, SC. In that capacity, he wrote, directed and performed in a dozen plays for young audiences. These plays, many of which featured music he composed and sequenced himself, were performed for tens of thousands of students throughout the Southeast.

Between 2006 and 2010, Tim served as marketing director for Centre Stage, a 285-seat professional theater in Greenville, SC.
