Grew up in Florida with an interesting mix - dad was a baptist (from Florida) and my mom was a buddhist (from Thailand). Graduated in 1994 earning a degree in biology and became a Christian. I met my wife Kristyn in London and moved to California where I worked as the youth pastor. In 2005, God opened a door in Santa Rosa where I took over pastoring a 4 month old church. Now, after almost 4 years of serving in Sonoma County, God has made it clear that I am to begin a new work in southern California where I'll be teaching zoology at Vanguard University and teaching the saturday night study at Costa Mesa.

Tim gained a degree in Electrical Engineering at Imperial College, London, and worked for 5 years in the Electronics industry. He subsequently taught Science, Physics and Electronics in schools and Sixth Form College for 27 years. Although he had to teach evolutionary ideas as part of the syllabus, he struggled with the apparent conflict between Science and the Bible.
