Tom studied design at Ohio State University. Discharged from the Navy at age 27, he began creating and building two and three dimensional art and furniture and never looked back.In addition to creating art, Tom is also a curator and master at art installation and has done so for a wide variety of public and private clients.

Along with the other directors of "Windy City Arts":http://www.windycityarts.org/, Tom curated a show called "Flights of Imagination". A non-juried show that exhibited the work of 100 artists at Chicago's prestigious Cultural Center. The Center's Curator, "Greg Knight":http://www.artic.edu/webspaces/interlink/gregoryknightbio.html refered to the display as one of the best installed shows exhibited at the Center.
