Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Tom studied fine art at the University of the Arts (Philadelphia). While working toward his BFA he taught himself several programming languages. This became his primary vocation for the next fifteen years. In addition, he is an avid astronomy enthusiast. Tom moved to Colorado in 1995.

It was while living in Colorado Tom discovered his love of acting and booked a recurring role on the web series “Mr. Deity.” Realizing it was time to get serious about acting, he moved to Los Angeles to study with Howard Fine, one of the most sought after acting teachers in the country.

Tom lives in Studio City, CA.
