Tim made numerous appearances in the A-league with MLS Pro-40 select where he served as the team captain. Since then, he has also made appearances with FC Dallas, DC United, and played two seasons with the A-league teams in Charleston and Pittsburgh.
Tim also has a history playing in the US National Teams Program. He has been a member of the USA U-18 and U-20 National Teams, and was also a member of the 2000 Olympic Team player pool. Tim played collegiate soccer at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, before leaving early to join the professional ranks.
