Tom was born in 1961 and grew up in the working class town of Bloomfield, New Jersey until 1973 when his family relocated to Toms River, NJ. After two years as a theater major at Trenton State College, he pursued an acting/stunt career in NYC. He later moved to Los Angeles in 1988 with screen writing in mind and in 1989 signed with agent Alan Gasmer at the William Morris Agency. Three years and ten screenplays later, his spec script, "The Baboon Heart" was purchased by MGM and made into the 1993 film "Untamed Heart" staring Marisa Tomei, Christian Slater, and Rosie Perez, and directed by Tony Bill. Tom also served as the film's Associate Producer, Stunt Coordinator and played the part of Marisa's blind date, Ronnie. As a screenwriter, Tom did assignment work for various studios (MGM, TriStar/Sony, Touchstone, Castle Rock Ent., Warner Bros.) and has worked with industry notables and Academy Award winners including director/producer Tony Bill, screenwriter William Goldman, and Academy and Thalberg Award winning director Norman Jewison. Tom has written over forty-five feature film screenplays, two novels, numerous short stories, and a full thirteen-episode season of the one-hour drama "Men Of Goodwill", which is in development with his longtime manager/producer and friend Alan Gasmer (Vikings). Tom recently made his directing debut working off his original screenplay "The Girl Who Invented Kissing". He lives in New Jersey with his wife and three mutts. Hide
