Tim Walsh graduated with a degree in Music Composition from the University of North Texas, and has always incorporated dance, film, and video into his compositions. While an undergraduate, he got his start in lasers in 1977 as a planetarium laserist for laser Creations, Inc. in Texas. He also co-founded Brave Combo, a Grammy-winning band still going today. In 1985, Walsh formed Laser Spectacles, Inc. Since then he has performed and installed laser shows world-wide, from churches to raves, corporate meetings to outdoor festivals.
Walsh and Laser Spectacles have won over 28 awards, beginning with the first ILDA Awards in 1988 and continuing with First Place Awards in both 2011 and 2012 -- the only 1988 recipient still winning today. Other notable honors include "Best Laser Show" at LDI and a First Place International Festivals and Events Association award for "Best New Event.” Laser Spectacles was one of the first two companies to receive the designation "ILDA Accredited Professional Lasershow Company" in 2010.
