''Balance'' might be the word that first comes to mind when talking about our latest Coverboy. Born and raised in Pasadena, Md., 19-year-old Tim has his fingers in both the medical and theatrical worlds. A student studying surgical technology in the hope of becoming a surgical salesman, he also freelances in the arts -- acting, singing, dancing and modeling. Juggling his busy life keeps him happy. ''I have ADHD, so I need to move from one thing to another," he says. "Otherwise I feel like I'm wasting time." When not acting or studying, Tim likes to go on excursions, from the mall and movies to hiking and camping in the country. When he hits up the club scene – albeit rarely – you're likely to catch him at Grand Central or the Hippo.
