Tom has been involved in music since he was 9 years old when he first began guitar lessons. One Sunday afternoon after having seen the movie "Superman", Tom came home and without ever having had a piano lesson, sat down at the piano and played the theme song from the movie soundtrack. His "super" talent was definitely apparent and piano lessons immediately followed. As Tom continued to excel in his musical accomplishments and after having surpassed the expectations and abilities of a number of different music instructors, he finally became a private student of the acclaimed James Tannenbaum of the Cleveland Institute of Music.  As a professional musician, Tom completed his first CD album in December of 1998. In October of 1999, after much encouragement from a number of supporters and professionals that he had met during the recording of his CD, Tom moved to LA to pursue his dreams of a musical career. Once Tom got to Los Angeles, he began working for Jim Brickman, doing arranging and scoring for his projects. Tom’s arrangements can be heard on a vast array of Jim’s albums, including Jim’s current release “Beautiful World” and the new holiday album “Joy” available exclusively at Target stores. Tom currently lives in Los Angeles, where he’s writing and producing a number of easy listening piano CD’s for Wal Mart stores nationally featuring original music. His first CD for the chain, called “Lavender” has been a big success, and his follow up CD, “Inner Peace” has just been released nationally. And if that’s not enough, Tom’s working on yet another CD to be released with Fisher-Price; a lullaby album called Ocean Wonders.
