Tim was bit by the music bug in the 70’s at age 10. He began taking drum lessons and played all through High School in Concert & Jazz band.  His early influences were, Buddy Rich, Billy Cobham, John Bonham & Neil Pert.

He refined his skills even further at Southern Illinois University where he played in the Saluki Marching Band snare line, Concert Band, Jazz Band and various Rock Groups. After building his own communications business for 15 years Tim knew a piece of his life was missing so he co-founded the edgy, groove/rock group Caozz with Joe and Scott Prutton in 2002.

He now continues his tradition of excellence by laying down the foundation of the band on his DW drums with solid rhythms and powerful fills.
