Emmy award-winning Tim Kasper is the Director of the Southeast Region of Pinnacle Performance Company. As an artist, he has been performing since the age of 13. He received much of his early training at the prestigious Trollwood Performing Arts School and under the tutelage of Broadway veterans Eddie and Kathy Gasper. While an advertising major at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul MN, his love of performing called him back to tour with his vocal band, The Blenders (www.theblenders.com). They’ve been together since 1990 and are still going strong.
The Blenders have toured all over the U.S. and have been the favorite opening act for Howie Mandel and Jay Leno at Caesars Palace and MGM Grand in Las Vegas and Caesars Atlantic City. Their 11 CD titles have sold a quarter of a million units, with a #1 hit single in Europe.
Tim has stayed busy with acting and print modeling for companies such as Best Buy and John Deere. He co-hosted a movie-review radio show called “The Reel Brothers” in Minneapolis for three years with his brother, Patrick. He also co-hosted a television show on the Minneapolis/St. Paul FOX affiliate called “Minnesota Spotlight.” His teaching credits include various performing arts and dance schools in the Midwest and Florida, along with teaching master-classes at Minnesota State University-Moorhead and the Ringling school of Art and Design, Sarasota Florida.
Tim is a member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and is active in the Young Professionals Group in Sarasota, Florida.
