Tom's life has always been one of an "entertainer," gaining him the
dubious notoriety of being the class "goof-off" in school, but
delighting his fellow students in the process. In high school drama
classes, he played simple parts, usually comedic, but it was also there
that he began to touch upon drama as an alternative acting form.
Tom didn't really turn his energy back towards his love of
entertainment through acting until after pursuing careers as: a small
engine mechanic, PCB designer, mechanical designer/engineer,
EMT/Paramedic, horologist, weapons designer, gunsmith, tactical
firearms trainer, hunting guide, travel writer, photographer, race car
mechanic/crew chief, diesel engine mechanic/classic Mercedes
restoration specialist, biodiesel engineer, sailboat maintenance
mechanic, machinist, competition shooter, project manager/director, and
a few other paid occupations.
Tom enjoys both the stage and film work, each of which have their own
unique joys and pitfalls. He has shown an ability to portray vastly
different characters and enjoys the demonstration of emotion and
character changes when roles allow him to do so.
Working with Rugged Saddle Studios(TM) as an actor, director and
co-script writer, he worked on his second international feature film
from 2010-2011.
