Tim comes from Liverpool in the northwest of the UK. He studied screenwriting at John Moores University Liverpool earning an MA in Screenwriting.

The past several years Tim took time away to care for his father who was suffering from Alzheimers, and during this time he took up creating children’s picture books, as it was one of his dad's wishes. 

Despite or because Tim has dyslexia, he loves coming up with ideas from the simplest thing and letting spontaneity and improvisation drive the story telling process in words and pictures, the more imaginative the better.

He has also studied theatre skills at the Seconds Out theatre School, Everyman Youth Theatre, the Playhouse Youth Theatre and the Southport Youth Theatre. After this he worked in theatre stage management, and TV studios as a floor assistant, design assistant and runner, operating puppets to cameras and acting. He had an agent for many years for modelling and acting for TV, Films, and commercials working on everything from Coronation Street, the Russ Abbot Christmas Special, Prime Suspect, and adverts for Ladbrokes to Peugeot, and he even dressed up as a nine foot bowling skittle for a series of idents on the show National Music Awards. 

Tim has done a wide variety of things. He has worked a night in a club behind a bar, to a grade 5 labourer in a tannery factory for a year. He has an MTI Diploma in massage anatomy and physiology, and worked several years as a therapist. He has also studied advertising through a D&AD advertising workshop course. 

Tim is also a photographer and filmmaker, having shot timelapses for use in advertising for Liverpool, from Fox Sports, Creamfields, to universities, and he has written, directed, produced, and edited and animated several short films. His short comedy ‘3 Squid’ screened at the Cannes film festival short film corner, which was great fun to attend. 

In his spare time, he enjoys carpentry, photography, keeping aquariums, and he has built things from a table, a chair, a summer house and his own computers. 

He likes seeking out new adventures, and has enjoyed things like, Skydiving, scuba diving, fishing, horse-riding and learning about rocket ships. 

Tim was born in the 70s. an adventurous kid, who was a cross between Dennis the Menace and a choir boy, always getting into trouble exploring the world and at times helping setting up the church fair. 

He is presently working on a list of children’s picture books and movie scripts.
