Born and raised in Texas, Tom and his family live the modern life in the Austin hills. "It would be a stretch to call our house mid-century modern, maybe late, late mid-century modern! But it has the soul and breath of modern design, with lots of areas for creative, modern improvements; and that's part of why we love our home. I find that a majority of my clients have a similar need to have a hands on role in the creative process of finding and creating their dream space; and I love helping my clients piece together the puzzle."

Background: Tom received his undergraduate degree in Real Estate Finance at Texas Tech University. He then earned his master's degree in International Business from Boston University in Brussels. His first career was trading NASDAQ stocks on the trading floor at Montgomery Securities/Bank of America Securities in San Francisco, California. "That was insane." Tom now focuses on selling modern and luxury homes in Austin.
