Born at Tampa General I grew up in Temple Terrace Florida. 

It all started when I got my first record album. It was from Sears and it was 'Meet The Beatles'. That's where it all began! It's their fault. I knew then and there "I" was gonna be the next 'John Lennon or maybe Sir Paul'...NOT! But at least I tried! I talked my Dad into buying me a guitar and amp at the tender age of 13. He got me a Gibson ES 123  and a Fender concert amp. I really wanted to be a Rocker. I guess I owe that to The Beatles. 

My first band Black Mountain Stash was terrible!.. But I did get to play in my high school gym..... In 1972 I started a band called 2nd Guess with Bob & Dick Gross and Doug Marsh. 2nd Guess lasted 5 years with additional help from Tim Gross, Bobby Reed, John Lintner and Jerry Anderson.

 After graduating from USF in 1978 I met TC and his band called Traveler. It occurred one night at the 'Other Place' in the Northgate shopping center. It was an all-you-can-drink night. TC was drunk and he invited me to join the band. They we're from Georgia, so I left town for over 4 years and I never looked back. The Traveler story is in detail on Tim's bio page.   Click here.

After the band broke up in 1984 I came back to Tampa and got a day job...   

I put together Ted's Old House Recording Studios and went to work. TC would come to town every few months and we would write and record songs together. Bobby Reed, one of the finest keyboard players in the Tampa Bay area, also would come over and write with us. I also was involved in a duo called the Blister Brothers with one of my good friends Jerry Anderson. To hear some of the Blister Brother's original songs click here. We've recorded over 150 songs in the last 15 years.

I started recording and producing CD's along the way. As a result, my biggest claim to fame (besides my own stuff) is a CD by Kelly Emerson called 'Big Daddy's Barn Burner Blues'. The complete CD was made at Ted's Old House. Top of the line players, songs, production, design and reviews.

Tim, currently is living back in Georgia .. But TC and Randy still plays occasionally so check out the gig page.......
