DM Tim has been playing games since sometime in the mid 80s, having been introduced by a family friend to red-box Dungeons & Dragons.  He's spent a lot of time playing other systems though.  Through most of his college years in the mid-90s he was addicted to Vampire The Masquerade, and HERO System.  Tabletop gaming, computer games and particularly MUSHing (AmberMUSH primarily, some WoD MUSHes) were the downfall of his college GPA and career.  But after college he began to evolve a preference in lighter mechanic systems, and can lately be found often playing Unisystem, Unisystem Lite, and other "lite" systems.  He has strong hopes for the K.I.S.S. principle will be carried strongly through the upcoming Fourth Edition release.

Despite an incomplete run at college, Tim spends his daytime hours as an IT Consultant specializing in Microsoft BizTalk Server.  He is a Principal Consultant with Sogeti USA, and has been recognized as a Microsoft MVP for BizTalk Server.  His father, Ray Rayburn, is an audio engineer and so Tim grew up around microphones, speakers, mixing consoles, etc.  This gave him a solid grounding him the technology necessary to put on a quality podcast.  After hearing the Order 66 Podcast, he decided that the idea he had been kicking around for a while was worth doing, because he had seen it done well.  He pulled together DM Jackson and DM David and Radio Free Hommlet is what fell out.
