Tom started singing during his senior year of high school where he sang in both the Varsity and Concert choirs. He went to college for several years and sang tenor in the Clarke Loras Singers, a prestigious choir composed of students from two colleges in Dubuque Iowa. He was briefly exposed to barbershop while in college but felt that it would be too much to be in the choir and in barbershop at the same time.

When he moved to California in 1984 he was working nights and weekends with little time for extracurricular activities. He met his future wife Dee Dee Gregory while giving Blood at the Blood Bank and her mother bought tickets to a community concert series in Calimesa California with a men's barbershop chorus. "I was in awe of what I thought was a professional group." He would later join and still sings in this SPEBSQSA organization called the Masters Of Harmony . He has won five international chorus gold medals,1996, 1999, 2002, 2005 and 2008.

Tom has performed in the following quartets since he join the Society in 1993. The first was called Kaleidoscope consisting of members from the Pomona Valley Carousel Chorus, the first Chorus he joined. The second was Countdown where he also sang tenor and achieved his highest international rankings to date, 25th at international twice. His third quartet was a short lived experiment called Batteries Not Included with Tom on Lead. "It was fun to try the lead part, but it's a lot harder than it looks" As the saying goes the rest is history. He then formed Hi-Fidelity in December of 2000 with Tom on Lead. After several years of hard work finaly won the FWD championship with Hi-Fi in 2005. He is now back in the tenor spot in the 2009 FWD District Champion quartet The Edge .

Tom works in the field of printing and computers at Vertis Inc. in Pomona.
