As a young lad, Tom grew up loving animation and art. He was born in Indiana and spent his life growing up in South Bend. His passion for drawing started when he was only two years old. Since then, he hasn't stopped. Currently his focus is mainly character modeling and design. Tom's influences come from artists such as Don Bluth, Walt Disney, Doug TenNapel (Earthworm Jim), Lorne Lanning (Oddworld Series), and Joe Murray .
As a recent graduate from Purdue University, Tom has begun his venture into the real world. His last project included some animation and 3D modeling work for " Harvey Putter and the Ridiculous Premise, " which received positive reviews from both the indie film crowd and Harry Potter fan base. It is currently circulating through various film festivals. More info can be found directly on the film's website. Currently, Tom is busy working on his demo reel and job hunting.
Tom is a music enthusiast, which is why he also works at a guitar shop. He is a self taught drummer, and it's one of his favorite hobbies.
