As a musical prodigy, Tim left home at the tender age of 15 or 16 to tour with his band, where he led performances with his trumpet, defying age norms as the youngest member alongside 30 and 40-year-olds. His path took a pivotal turn at age 18 during his time at False Creek Baptist Encampment in Oklahoma, where he had a life-changing spiritual experience. Walking the aisle, he embraced a newfound faith and a calling to full-time ministry. Tim's transformative journey later contributed to a wider educational impact, as a book featuring his practical wisdom was adopted as a primary teaching resource at the Southwestern Theological Seminary. His life reflects a profound commitment to music and ministry, marked by early independence and deep conviction.
