A Southern California native, Tim began his musical career as an accomplished classical guitarist, performing at the White House and Carnegie Hall before he was old enough for his first beer. He is a graduate of USC's Thornton School of Music, where he transitioned from performer to composer, bringing his improvisational skill on guitar and piano to a love for the depth an emotive score brings to film.  

Tim’s music has been performed by notable ensembles including the Los Angeles Philharmonic and has been recognized with awards such as the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award. He has scored a variety of feature films and, working with composer Sean Callery, has contributed original music to shows including Homeland, Elementary, Next, Bull, The Hot Zone, and HALO.
