History
Born and raised in Chicago, relocating to Austin in August 2000. It only took Tim 37 years, and multiple back injuries in martial arts, to finally got a clue that Improv is much easier on the body than kicks to the head. After taking a free improv workshop that he heard about while watching Squirrel Buddies during Wafflefest in 2013, Tim completed all six levels at The Hideout Theatre graduating in 2014.
