Born in Calgary, Alberta in 1965, Tim grew up in Nelson, a town located among the rugged Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia. This is where he developed a love of wildlife and the outdoors. Tim spent much of of youth in the wilderness country of northern British Columbia, and in the expanses of the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Tim’s keen eye and mind were recording the shapes and movement of the wild animals of this vast wilderness. Tim’s love for these creatures led to an interest in taxidermy and bronze casting.

Around 1988, Tim studied with noted sculptors Dan Ostermiller and Fritz White in Loveland, Colorado. Encouragement from these mentors lead to experimentation in stone carving, which proved pivotal for Tim's unique approach to sculpting the simplified volumes and streamlined movement for which Tim's work is best known.

At the age of twenty-five he gained membership in the Society of Animal Artists. At only thirty, he was elected to membership in the National Sculpture Society and also the National Sculptors Guild. Tim produces sculptures which bring pleasure to his clients and grace homes, offices and public places both nationally and internationally. He is also a sought after contributor to major exhibitions throughout the United States. In 2001, Tim received the James Earl Fraser Sculpture Award, presented annually for the sculpture exhibiting exception merit as deemed by the National Cowboy and Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City during the Prix de West Invitational for the sculpture “Snake in the Grass.” Tim also received in 2001 the prestigious Gold Medal from the National Sculpture Society for “Flea Flicker.” Tim continues to be recognized and awarded. In 2017 he received the Cyrus Dallin Best Sculpture Award at the Eiteljorg Museum and with a retrospective exhibition at the Woolaroc Museum in Bartelsville, OK, Best of the Best . Tim’s sculpture can be found in a handful of galleries across the continent in collectors homes internationally and gracing the pages of Southwest Art, Wildlife Art and Art of the West magazines.
