Try:

grp = (df['NAME'] != df['NAME'].shift()).cumsum().rename('group')
df.groupby(['NAME', grp], sort=False)['TEXT','START','END']\
  .agg({'TEXT':lambda x: ' '.join(x), 'START': 'min', 'END':'max'})\
  .reset_index().drop('group', axis=1)

Output:

    NAME                                               TEXT  START   END
0    Tim  Tim Wagner is a teacher. He is from Cleveland,...   10.0  40.0
1  Frank                               Frank is a musician.   40.0  50.0
2    Tim                  He like to travel with his family   50.0  62.0
3  Frank  He is a performing artist who plays the cello....   62.0  90.0
