He is the choir director and organist for the First Baptist Church in Cooperstown, the organist for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and frequently serves as the music director for Orpheus Theatre and the SUNY Oneonta Theatre Department. When not chasing the muse, Tim enjoys chasing his bulldog, Coconut.
