Style:

Free spirited by nature, Tim's nonchalant attitude gives him an aura of mystery and intrigue he can’t help but exude. With a tough looking appearance that he carried with him since he was an high school kid, he is deeply caring and gentle if you can get past that thick outer layer. Though usually a pillar of emotional control he can have an explosive temper that he won't hesitate in showing in case he feels in the need of it.

He's also a very spiritual person, a legacy from his several travels around the world. Life needs to be experienced though the senses and he knows it. He loves being alone, meditate, take time to think about life and where the decisions he makes in the present are going to lead him in the future. He likes to plan and have things under control, but only to some extend, because he's also a man who enjoys living the present and don't worry about what the future is going to bring him.

In relationships, he's a very open person and makes friend fast, however when it comes to love or personal relationships he tends to be careful because of a broken heart he had in the past. He's afraid to give his heart to a woman because he doesn't want to have it broken again.

Born in a large, middle class family, Tim didn't know the meaning of the word freedom until he was in high school. Was then when he learnt that there was more to see in the world than what the surroundings of Pleasant Port offered him. Instead of going to college like most of his siblings, he decided to travel around the world against his mother's wishes, who always considered that the only way to become useful for the society and a worth family man was to have a good career that allowed you to win a lot of money to keep up your family. But also against his family's wishes, Tim decided against having a family, even if he has had several girlfriends, all of them out of Pleasant Port.

At the age of 24, he moved to Mexico with his best friend, where he lived four years working as a waiter in a restaurant in Alamos (Sonora). Then moved back to Pleasant Port, where he lived for a couple of years, working at the local record store, back then owned by a man called Scott Mason. When he was 30(1993), fascinated by the oriental culture, he decided to visit Asia, where he spent 5 years of his life, living in Dheli. While being there, he met a woman called Amisha. They dated for three years, until they broke up and he moved back to Pleasant Port.

Back in town, he found out that Scott Mason was transferring the record store, and Tim decided to buy it. He has been the owner of that store since then.

Best friends/Close characters

	Adela is Tim's best friend. He loves her as if she was his little sister, and would never let anything bad happen to her. For a while (1987-1991) he was living in Alamos (Sonora) with her.
	Dana is Tim's nice (she's Paul & Andrea's daughter). Tim and her get along very well, and Tim feels like she's more her little sister and her friend rather than her niece. They tell each other almost everything, and Tim feels really protective with Dana, probably because Dana used to hang out with Tim and his friends when she was still a kid
	Jesse and Tim met a lot of time ago, in high school. Their parents knew each other and they were close friends, so one summer they did their first road trip together, from coast to coast in the US. Then their lives lead them to different places in the world, and even if they kept in touch and Tim still considers Jesse one of his best friends, they haven't seen each other in years. What Tim doesn't know, is that Jesse is back in town

Enemies

Saying that Tim hates Luke would probably too much, but what it's sure is that Tim really dislikes him. The main reason is because Luke slept with Tim's best friend a lot of years ago, and they fighted because Tim thought that Luke was taking advantage of Adela. Recently he fount out that Luke is also Allison's best friend, and he's not really sure of how to deal with that.

Past interactions

Character	Which kind of relationship they had
Allison Hodge	Since Tim met Allison the day before the Pumpkin Fest while going to check the Clarins Mansion, he fell in love with her. Their first date (or what he thinks was a date) was when they went together to the Pumpkin Fest dance on Halloween's eve and they end up sleeping together. Even if he kind of asked her out, it was never clear if they dated or they were only friends that slept together. She moved out of town all of a sudden, and because of that Tim is really upset and not trusting women at all (it was his second broken heart)
Maggie Felix	She worked at School Kids Records and got along really well with Tim. She moved out of town and they call each other when it's an important event (Christmas, birthday), but they don't really stay in touch.

For Tim, love is: Suffering

Gavin Jenkins: "Well, what can I say about Tim? I love him and I really hope he'll find the happiness he deserves. Secretly I envy him a little, he's got the life I always dreamed about but never dared to live."

Allison Hodge: "I've only met TJ recently but I can say one thing, he's damn hot. A little slow maybe when it comes to women but that makes him only hotter for some weird reason."

Maggie Felix: "Tim is a great boss. He never EVER gives me a hard time if I have to take time off if Clive needs anything or to help my mom and dad at their store. He's just a really good person. That's rare you know; finding a person who is just a 'good person'. I admit it, I have a little crush. I mean though...how could you not."

Clive Felix: "Tim is very nice! He takes me for rides on his boat and he let's me listen to music at his store. Maggie likes him A LOT! I like him too."

John Sullivan: "I remember Tim from school. He was a few grades ahead of me and I remember just thinking he was really cool. He seems like a really great guy. He seems really just down to earth and like he has a good heart."

Cameron Tritton: "He may seem quiet and broody, but in a tight spot he's the guy you want on your team"

Adela Martinez: "Tim is my best friend on the face of this earth. He's the family I chose and I don't know where I'd be in my life without him. He's helped me through a lot and I know I'll never forget it."

Asher Cohen: "It's nice to find a good guy when good guy's are hard to find."

Jesse Thompson: "Possibly one of the best people on the face of the world. I know I can depend on him for anything. He's always been the person I go to when I don't know what to do, or the direction to go in."

Dana Jenkins: "I look up to my uncle a lot. He's always treated me like an adult, and rarely gets into my business which I like."

Jacqueline Sanders: "Tim is really nice. He comes into Ocean View sometimes, and on occasion I see him out and about as well. Generally just a good guy from what I know."

Scott Archer: "Tim is such a wonderful and beautiful human being. He likes learning about the world around him, and I think that's such a beautiful gift to receive."

Travis Collins: "Mr. Jen- Tim is a really nice guy. He makes me feel comfortable even though I don't know him that well. Very easygoing."

Brian Miller: "Very cool. I'm glad that Dana has him in her life."

He hates TV. He only turns it on to watch news in the morning, and he doesn't even look at the screen (he just listens at it)
He gets nervous in elevators and other closed places
