Tim began studying swordplay as a stage-combatant, and now holds his actor-combatant certification with the Society of American Fight Directors.
Several years ago, while working in Edinburgh, Scotland, Tim stumbled across the Dawn Duellists Society and it's somewhat mad president, Paul Macdonald. Upon learning that this group of nutters studied and practiced historical technique, Tim immediately threw himself into the fray, and has not wised up since.
After returning to the States, Tim and his friend Jared Kirby founded the New Dawn Duellists Society in Minneapolis, MN.
Tim has been teaching for several years now in a variety of historic western weapons and unarmed styles.
Tim brings a Master Class in Practical Pugilism – Bareknuckle Boxing for the Street, as well as his voice in Fundamental Principles of Unarmed Combat to this year’s ISMAC workshop.
