Tom grew up in Council Bluffs Iowa, surrounded by untamed forests, where at age seven he began exploring the woods, rivers, and creeks and spent his summers rappelling the Loess bluff cliffs of Fairmount Park. Considered an outdoorsman by his peers, he adventurously seeks what is over the next hill and under his feet.

With a deep and diverse background in technology. Tom uses his skills, talents, and creativity to collect, capture, process, calculate, visualize, and communicate expedition results with peers, often in ways that reveal new insights.

After successfully concluding a career as a defense contractor and video game developer at Midway Games, Tom and Kiwe, opened a design agency which they continue to operate. Tom has worked in nearly every aspect of the marketing industry including many hardware and software technology-driven projects which he applies directly to exploration.

Tom spends weekends with his family cleaning up riverbanks along Brushy Creek in Round Rock TX and other central Texas rivers and creeks. One of Tom’s goals is to one day stand on the Antarctic continent.
