After hearing the Beatles at a very early age, Tom took his dad’s eight-track player and set it up in his room. Listening to the songs over and over, he literally warped the collectable recordings till the tapes were deemed unusable.

At the age of thirteen, he began playing guitar and was playing in original hard rock bands by the time he was fifteen.  A short time later, Tom moved to Florida, and played in local cover bands.

In 2008, he began performing with the Classic Albums Live group, playing Classic Album favorites, including The Eagles, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles, from beginning to end in a theatre environment. Shortly after, Tom joined Across the Universe.
