TJ is currently serving at Franklin Springs Family Media under the official title of Production Manager along with the title Production Coordinator at sister company Franklin Films. Despite the titles, TJ’s work with these two companies extends beyond to include, Editor, Camera Operator, Assistant Camera Operator, Audio Engineer, Sound Designer, and I.T. His skills also include proficiency in Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Cubase, and a high degree of proficiency with Mac OS X. He is also experienced to a somewhat lesser degree with Photoshop, Indesign, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Motion, and After Effects. TJ also does freelance work under the name Two Edge Media in the areas of filming, editing, webdesign, and audio.

TJ was homeschooled since the 5th grade and was apprenticed to his dad as a farrier (horseshoer) at the age of 14. He then shod horses until he was 23, doing only side work in the media and graphic arts world. Ken Carpenter of Franklin Springs Family Media offered him the opportunity to expand upon what he felt was God’s calling on his life to affect the culture in which we live through media and graphic arts.

TJ also places a large emphasis on family and was married to Rachel in the summer of 2005. They now have a son, Timmothy Allen Draper III and are seeking to raise up a Godly seed.
