An avid reader since the age of 7, he read the Classics of Science Fiction and Horror with growing fascination. Among his favorites are H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, Robert E. Howard and Richard Matheson.

In college, Tom wrote his first serious short story, “Night of Fate,” which featured John Pentgram, an Anomalist who gets bitten by a werewolf.

Since then, he has written several dozen short stories and six novels.

In 2014, Tom designed and published Secrets of the Lost Tomb, a board game filled with details from all the books, movies and television shows he loved all of his life.

Marriage and the birth of his daughter added more perspective to Tom's life. He and his daughter are avid bowlers, with their goal to be to crack the 250-game barrier. Tom and his family live with three cats.
