Tim and Rufus during the children’s television years
Where the story began
From regional television to a worldwide audience
From 1979 to 1999, Tim hosted regional children's television programs, captivating young audiences with engaging stories and memorable puppet characters. His puppets appeared in numerous productions, including the widely syndicated Puppin's Christmas Story, a beloved seasonal special.
That same belief in the power of a memorable story continues in TimzBibleVidz. Each short animated video is designed to welcome children into a Bible story through music, warmth, imagination, and an easy-to-understand message.
