Influences - Tim has been playing guitar since he was 9 years old. Some of his major rock influences while
growing up were CC DeVille of Poison, Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, and Vito Bratta of White Lion. After Greg
brainwashed him into playing country music (I guess it wasn't so bad after all) he began to be inspired by
guys like Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Brent Mason, and most recently Johnny Hiland.
Some of Tim's early influences which led him to "try" to become a better guitar player, was the late Charlie
Webster and Greg Webster. He also took lessons from Sue Placko in Prairie du Chien for many years in
Grade school, and also his High School band Director, Tom Cook played a important role in Tim's
development as a musician.
Equipment Used - Tim's favorite guitars used to be Fender guitars. He currently owns a 2001 Fender
Special Deluxe Telecaster equiped with Seymour Duncan 5/2 Alinico Pickups, and a 1992 Strat Plus with
Lace Sensors and a Custom Made "Green Bay Packer" Telecaster that he made himself.
He now plays his own custom built Telecaster built by himself as his main instrument. It is equipped with
Seymour Duncans "Hot for Tele" pickups.
Hobbies - He is an avid Bowhunter and Big Game Hunter. He also enjoys Fishing when time permits. Tim is
also into Woodworking enjoys framing and matting wildlife prints. He also enjoys building his own guitars and
necks and taking them to the stage. Check out the Link of the construction of his latest guitar!
Pet Peeves - Missing Big Antlered Deer.
Special Thanks - Tim wants to send a special Thanks to his wife and children who have given up time on
weekends so he can be out doing what he loves to do. He also wants to thank his family for all of the support
and encouragement they have given him over the years. Thanks to Ma and Pa Severson for the 1st guitar.
He also wants to thank his band mates for being some of the best friends in the world. We have a lot of music
left to make.
