Tim was born in 1957 in Manchester, UK and grew up enjoying the seaside delights of Southport. He studied Philosophy and Theology at Bristol University in the 1970s, and then trained as a journalist, working on a wide variety of magazines, newspapers and journals which took him regularly to the Middle East.
