An '86 West Point Graduate that grew up in Southern California. After serving as an Army infantry officer, Tom returned to California and entered the entertainment industry. Tom has run his own Record Label, Fun1One Records for over 15 years, and is the founding member of the successful Ska-Punk Band, The Fabulous Rudies. While living in Los Angeles, Tom dabbled in some acting, mostly commercials but had a lead part in an indie film and a few plays (also played a cop in an Ice Cube video). The Fabulous Rudies would become one of Van's Warped Tour founder, Kevin Lyman's favorite bands, booking the group on the Tour consistently from 2003 to 2008. Tom's band would share the stage with acts like Pennywise, Bad Religion, Paramore, Pepper, Reel Big Fish, to name a few, on the Warped Tour and beyond. Tom would later move to San Diego where his passion for music and movies would come together when he placed music in a popular Disney show, In A Heartbeat, having his band open for the then Pop Star, Hoku (Don Ho's daughter). He continued to place music in films until his high school, after-school program became the subject of a major motion picture called Music High (released in 2012). Tom placed 15 songs from bands and musicians he was working with, including his own, and worked in many capacities on that film. Tom continued to work on Independent Movies until he wrote the story and treatment using his Country Music Client, Rick Elliot, as the subject for Area 86's first film, West of Rockies. Brian and I have a unique connection and a shared passion of music and film. My background in the entertainment industry meshes well with Brian's and together we have a common vision moving forward with the goal of making compelling movies. Tom is a producer, writer, and music supervisor for the upcoming Area 86 projects, West of the Rockies, Lock Down, and The Internet Model.
