The Story

Tim grew up in Seal Beach, California in a small house near the beach.  Being in the water was a favorite pastime, spending countless hours swimming, surfing, and playing water polo at the local pool. High school marked the beginning of the Federales, a garage band started with some close friends, their music being heard pouring out of the garage for blocks around. They played local shows and block parties, where neighbors enjoyed their energy and enthusiastic style. 

Tim attended UC Irvine, playing water polo for legendary coach Ted Newland, and earning all-American honors. He went on to play with the US national team, competing in two Olympic games and earning a silver medal in 2008. During that time period Tim played professionally in Australia and numerous countries throughout Europe.

​

While traveling the world playing water polo and living the dream, Tim held onto his musical background and put his experiences, triumphs, and trials, into lyrics. He now lives in Moss Landing, CA with his wife and son.

"Few things can express your feelings and get through to people like a good song. I write songs about certain moments and times in my life, the way I feel and the people who have an impact on me. Wherever I go I can take these songs with me and never forget where I’ve been.” -TH
