About Tim

Description

HEHE - well where do I start....? They say a picture's worth a thousand words so here's a couple of thousand

I guess a physical description would go ok here too. I am 183 cm (or 6 foot) tall and weigh 92 Kg (or 196 lb).

Hobbies

I enjoy reading - mostly fantasy and science fiction novels - but I also get stuck into weightier tombs - economics, philosophy and theology along with historical novels and biographies. I enjoy history but don't read as much as I should.

I am also involved in writing 4 novels. One is my own effort and will be finished in about 30 years if I'm lucky. The other is a sci-fantasy trilogy that I am co-authoring with a friend. We have been writing it since March 94 and have a large anount of book one written - about half of book two outlined and none of book three even started. We would like to finish at least book one this millenium!! Some day I may even post some of it on here for comments and suggestions - but for now its all under wraps.

I play the violin and sing (not at the same time though - :). I play the violin in my local church occasionally. I love music of all kinds - well almost all - I can't stand Country and Western (No apologies for that) and most Techno music is better left at the bottom of the sea - though i do like some occasionally - I need convincing its gonna be good first though! (g)
Favourite bands include Midnight Oil, Petra, Newsboys, The Police, U2 (especially the older music - pre Rattle and Hum), Bach Violin Concertos, Metallica, Joe Satriani, Dire Stratits and Pink Floyd. I love the music of Bryan Duncan, Phil Keaggy and Jars Of Clay.
If you haven't heard of any of these bands email me and I can send you some clips if you like.

Sports

I play squash (racquet ball with a small hard ball and smaller racquets for you americans) every week in a local league in Brisbane. I play in a team of 5 players and 4 play every week - I am ranked either first or second depending who's there. It's a deal of fun and great exercise.

I also am a hard core mountain bike fan - though I'm not seriously involved in racing anymore. I have just bought a new GT Avalanche and the local club has nicknamed me ENDO after my repetitive falling off over the front stunts - all on purpose - honest!!

I play soccer - though this year I'm not playing competitively and I have coached junior soccer for 3 years. I play as either a striker or goalkeeper.

Family

I have a lovely wife named Judith. Go to our family gallery for a look at some photos. We have had two children - one is in heaven and the other is a beautiful precocious daughter named Miranda. Her mug shots are also in the gallery.
Well thats all for now - thanks for visiting.
