Little is known about Timber Masterson's early life. However, we do know he's taught tennis at Club Med in the French West Indies, played piano at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, performed original songs on guitar at The Viper Room in Los Angeles, was a fixture in the after-hours underground warehouse scene, throwing jams in Toronto and New York, toured an original Canadian play throughout one of the worst Newfoundland winters on record and wrote for Aaron Spelling promoting his television shows, while living in Dana Point, California. He has appeared on the Geraldo Rivera show during his life spent in the bohemian subculture as a notorious club kid in New York City and has been a Bikram Yoga enthusiast in Orange County, CA.

Mr. Masterson is an authentic and charming fellow known to be a Writer, a Musician, an Actor and a participatory journalist. This whip-smart improviser presently resides in gorgeous Prince Edward County, a stone’s throw east 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, Timfoolery: Tales of a Third Rate Junkie, which received rave reviews, mostly from himself. He’s reported on fashion, social justice, authors, dairy farms, and what it’s really like to work as an extra on a Toronto film set. He’s donated his imaginative and heartfelt essays to online literary journals, too numerous to mention in this shamelessly self-promotional and compelling biography. His writing has appeared in The National Post, The Montreal Gazette, Now Magazine, Pie Magazine, OC Metro, and, most recently, in Watershed Magazine, Grapevine, and KABIN. He also wrote about celebrity culture in his monthly column in Flare Magazine and about pretty much anything he wanted to for Tribe, a Canadian monthly music and club 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 Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, The Expanse, The Firm, Reign, My Babysitter's a Vampire and others, as well as the odd commercial promoting products he’d never actually use himself. He wrote, produced, and hosted segments for the Vancouver-based entertainment program Metro Café, and hosted the show Life on Timber Street, which he produced and composed the theme music for. That show is now known as ‘The Lost VHS Tapes.’ (Please return if you come across them.) Masterson was also a lively, animated guest on CIUT's 89.5 FM talk radio show, HOWL, with Nik Beat, often invited to share his inspired stories and excerpts from his novel. He also recalls appearing at the 215 Festival in Philadelphia to read his work to appreciative audiences, but he can’t be certain. Timber continues auditioning for projects, producing new music, crafting innovative and imaginative fresh stories, piecing together the early stages of his next collection of essays, Running Blissfully into Oncoming Traffic, compiling intriguing stories for his new podcast, This Canadian Life, and working on a script entitled I Went Through All This So You Don’t Have To,  now that he’s arrived at his life’s next chapter, a magical new home in enchanting Prince Edward County, with his extraordinarily patient and hilarious muse, Kelly, and their charismatic and unique pooches, Rosie and Pippy, which is unbearably exciting, though mostly just to Tim. His latest project is producing and hosting a weekly radio show, Wondrous Stories & Progressive Melodies, on 99.3 County FM, the Voice of The County, an hour-long program that features eclectic music, diverse readings,99.3 County FM, the Voice of The County, an hour-long, weekly program that features eclectic music, diverse readings and the occasional interview.

Timber Masterson has not yet received an Emmy, an Oscar, a MacArthur Fellowship, or any other prestigious, fancy-shmancy artistic prizes. No one knows what the future holds for him.
