Timothy Frazier
Tim is a freelance blogger and creative writer living in Grapevine, Texas. He enjoys riding his Triumph Rocket III, woodworking, and making his Grandson, Jade, giggle.
He and his wonderful wife, Robin, have a menagerie of pets, including:
An American Pit Bull Terrier that eats, sleeps, poops and does nothing else
An American Mastiff, also known as a "Polish Rock-head" that drools incessantly
A narcissistic cat that matches the Pit Bull in daily accomplishments
And...
A wolf-whistling cockatiel that never shuts up and has lived 23 years; and continues to do so, evidently out of spite
Previous careers include welder, survey crew chief, and police K9 officer. He currently works as an information technology director on top of blogging, contributing articles to Associated Content, and special assignments for magazines.
A native Texan, born in Fort Worth some 40+ years ago, he has lived in several other cities in the area, including Greenville, Mesquite, Garland, and Dallas. He has refused, on several occasions, to live anywhere outside the Great State of Texas.
