TIMOTHY SORENSEN

“As you ramble on through life, Brother, Whatever be your goal, Keep your eye upon the doughnut, And not upon the hole.”

― Margaret Atwood

Born in the shadow of the Wasatch Front. Timothy and his family packed up and moved to San Francisco when he was 5 years old. Most of his youth was spent in the haze of the post Hippy city. Skateboarding, punk rock, and beatnik culture informed his teen years. In his twenties, he moved to NYC to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology where he degreed in Menswear Design & Merchandising. While in NY he was introduced to the Club Kid scene of the late 80s. He was fortunate to be able to make clothes for a number of club personalities. After working in the garment district for names like Arthur Chapnik, Charivari, Joseph Abboud, and Harmarx he decided to return to San Francisco. Back in SF, he started a fashion line with his father which was sold internationally. T-Mark Streetwear was featured in Vibe, 4080, GQ, and a number of other fashion magazines as well as being worn by pro skaters and musicians from Death Row Records. 

With a recession in the Japanese market T-Mark closed and Timothy changed directions securing a job at Pixar Animation in the Post Production department where he helped in the making of Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, and Monsters Inc.

When the last movie wrapped Timothy moved his family to Austin, Texas where he set up a screen printing company making posters and t-shirts for local bands and the TXRD Rollergirls. This helped introduce him to the motorcycle builder Jason Kidd at Flyrite Choppers where Timothy went to work as Senior Manager of operations and media. Timothy is credited with a number of extremely successful international advertising campaigns as well as contributions to the Horse's Backstreet Choppers Smoke Out 9 and X videos for Cycle Source Magazine. Flyrite relocated to California so Timothy and his family decided to open a food truck. After a crazy three-day straight drive to Chicago and back, he gutted and rebuilt what would become Cow Tipping Creamery's first location an ice cream truck. CTC would go on to be listed as one of the top food trucks in American by Family Circle Magazine as well as being featured on the Food Network, The Cooking Channel and in the New York Times food section. 

A couple of life changes later Timothy and his two sons now call Portland, Oregon home. He has already done a number of art projects in the area including a large-scale installation he did with his youngest son Rohan in Seattle as well as being a member of his older son Cole's actual play Podcast.
