Beginning in the 1980s, he is credited for 43 roles according to Internet Movie Database (IMDb). Some notables? The X-Files, Con Air, Heat, and working alongside Hollywood greats such as Robert De Niro, David Carradine, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I was really good at saying one word, and then dying,” Tim laughs.

Tim culminated his graduate Biomechanics studies at California State University Northridge with now Emeritus Professor, Dr. Toshio Moritani of Kyoto University in Japan. Tim competed, studied, and coached with such World Class Coaches as Bill Webb and Art Venegas. To top his extensive list of credentials, Tim's graduate studies in Biomechanics led to his work being used at major universities around the world! Tim went on to apply his knowledge to teaching in the classroom, and coaching on the field. His passion for athletics resulted in being awarded two patents for a pole vault training device called the Pole Vault Swing-Up Rack. It is designed to build strength, fitness, and technique for athletes, keeping the core and shoulders engaged for the full range of motion required for a successful pole vault.

The device is now used by athletes around the world, which include: a current world record holder, a world champion, a gold medalist, an NCAA Champion, and numerous pole vaulters worldwide.
