He was named to the All Bux-Mont League teams in baseball as a junior, and in football, basketball, and baseball as a senior. He was a three-year starter at quarterback, amassing 2,735 career passing yards and 24 touchdown passes. He was the leading rebounder and second-leading scorer on the 1982–1983 basketball team, which still holds the school record for wins in a season with 18. He was a pitcher, first baseman, and captain on the baseball team, compiling a 6–1 pitching record and helping the Tribe win the Bux-Mont Baseball Championship in 1983. Tim was the recipient of the Terry Fetterman Memorial Award and the U.S. Army Scholar-Athlete Award at the 1983 Blue & Gold Banquet.

Tim attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science (PCPS), receiving his B.S. in Pharmacy in 1988 and his Doctor of Pharmacy in 1990. While at PCPS, he was a guard on the basketball team and a pitcher on the baseball team. He was an NAIA District 19 First Team pitcher for four consecutive years and an NAIA Academic All-American in both 1986 and 1987. He finished with a 27–10 career record, striking out 282 hitters in 248 career innings.

During the 1980s, Tim also played for the Upper Perk Chiefs, producing a 30-7 career pitching record, and was a member of the Chiefs’ last Tri-County Baseball League Championship team in 1987.

Tim has spent his entire career as a clinical pharmacist, supervisor, and manager with the Jefferson Home Infusion Service of the Thomas Jefferson University Health System.
