| Introduction | Tom has been trying to figure out life since he was born... and began an intensive effort to do it when he started writing comedy 25 years ago. He's written for a number of radio personalities over the years, as well as occasionally taking a stab at doing his own standup. A 10-year "vacation" in LA gave him the chance to work in TV in a number of different capacities as well as appear onscreen in several shows like THE PRETENDER, THE SINGLE GUY, and MAD ABOUT YOU, as well as a MFTV movie, "The Christmas Wish". Tom currently lives in his home town of Rochester, NY and is always looking for more friends and more work (but mostly more work -- I got bills to pay, folks, and I don't want to have to lean on my friends!) |
| Interests | Writing (being able to stare out the window for hours and calling it "work"), Guitar (still trying to get that opening chord to "A Hard Day's Night correct), Photography (the deer in a nearby park hold a certain fascination for me -- it's almost as if they know when to pose) |
