Tim couldn't get enough of UK Top Gear as a kid, which sparked his passion for cars.

He reports on national competitions and the Socceroos with Football Australia, and also covered the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup with The Football Sack.

He studied a Bachelor of Journalism and a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Wollongong, featuring in the top five per cent of students, and graduating with distinction.

Tim completed an internship in the ABC’s Wollongong office, then undertook regular paid shifts until he completed his degrees. Tim started his full-time journalism career at CarsGuide, working as a News Journalist covering a range of automotive topics from electric vehicles to legal issues.
