Tom started his career in radio at WJBC in Knoxville (if you want to call College radio the start of your career). He served as Program Director for 2 years. Prior to graduation, he was awarded the Media Communication Award for Excellence at JBC. During his junior year in college, he worked Saturday mornings at WOKI "The River". This position later turned into weekends/swing, to nights, and then finally afternoon drive. During this time, he also worked at CMA award winning WIVK, where he got his country radio start.
After a year of full fledged country in East Tennessee, he finally came home to Virginia at WCYK where he started afternoons in November 2006. As of January 2009, he got the news that he will be waking up a little earlier from now on, as he has been doing mornings ever since.
His life-long dreams are to tour Europe, interview Bono, and have a spot on VH1's "I love the 80's".
Tom is also actively involved St. Jude Children's Hospital, the Red Cross, and serves on the March of Dimes signature cheif's committee. At one point, he was even "arrested" to raise money for the MDA and Jerry's Kids.
While he technically does not own pets, he does claim his girlfriend's dogs as his own. One is a stubborn old snozzer by the name of Oscar, and the other is the cute, spoiled, "I'm going to tear up everything you got while your not looking" Molly.
He enjoys playing video games, meeting country music stars, traveling, talking radio, and fishing with his old man on the James River.
