Little is known about Timber Masterson's early life. He's taught tennis at Club Med in the French West Indies, played piano at the Roosevelt Hotel, guitar at The Viper Room in Los Angeles, has thrown wild after-hours underground warehouse jams in Toronto and New York, toured an original Canadian play throughout one of the worst Newfoundland winters on record and has written ads for Aaron Spelling's TV website while living in Dana Point, California. He has also appeared on the Geraldo Riveira show during his life spent as a club kid in New York City, and has been a Bikram Yogi enthusiast in Orange County, CA.

Mr. Masterson is a terribly charming fellow known as an actor, a Musician, a Writer and participatory journalist - a whip smart improvisor who presently resides just north of Toronto, Canada, and yes, it's a long story. “Are there no points for having survived New York and L.A.? Who do I talk to about such matters?” He published a mammoth memoir entitled, Timfoolery: Tales of a Third Rate Junkie, which received rave reviews, mostly from himself. He’s reported on fashion, celebrity and farm animals and has donated his imaginative and heartfelt essays to a ton of online literary journals, too numerous to mention in this shamelessly self-promotional and compelling biography. His writing has also appeared in The National Post, The Montreal Gazette, Now Magazine, Pie Magazine, OC Metro, and has had monthly columns in Flare Magazine and Tribe Magazine.

He was co-producer and host of a once-a-month literary interactive gathering called Word Substance Spatula at Toronto's Drake Hotel - a kind of theatre-in-the-round for writers; and has appeared on stage, screen and in the TV shows The Expanse, The Firm, Reign, My Babysitter's a Vampire and others, as well as the odd commercial promoting products he would never use himself. He’s written/produced/hosted segments for the Vancouver based entertainment program, “Metro Café” and a self-produced show, “Life on Timber Street,’ where he also composed the theme music, the show now being referred to as, ‘The Lost VHS Tapes.’ (Please return if you come across them). Masterson also was a regular contributor to CIUT's 89.5 FM talk radio show, HOWL, with Nik Beat, where he was a lively animated guest, invited to share his inspired tales, and recalls appearing at the 215 Festival in Philadelphia and The Moth in New York City to perform and read his work to appreciative audiences, but he can’t be certain. Timber continues creating new music, crafting innovative new stories, as well as piecing together this website and a podcast, This Canadian Life, a work in progress, which is unbearably exciting. (Mostly to Tim).

Timber Masterson is not the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship or any other fancy shmancy literary or artistic prizes...yet. No one knows what the future holds for him.
