Tom was raised to believe that caring, compassion, honesty, trust, integrity, and putting the needs of others ahead of your own are values that Tom feels very fortunate to have been instilled in him from a young age. Tom carries these core values in both his personal and professional life. Originally from Pennsylvania, Tom has traveled extensively thru the United States, Asia, and Europe before finally deciding that there is no better place to live and play than Hawaii. The perfect year round climate offers a wide variety of activities for both the outdoors person ( hiking, surfing, whale watching ) as well as the peace and tranquility for the nature lover in all of us. Tom dedicated 10 years of his life to teaching students with mental health and mental retardation disabilities where the focus was to better the lives of the less fortunate. The work, while very demanding, was equally rewarding as it helped people grow and work towards a better life for themselves. Tom also spent a large part of his adult life as the Operations Manager for the facilities department for Villanova University on the East Coast. Licensed since 2005, Tom is a veteran in both buying and selling properties for his clients, as well as his own. An avid pet lover, Tom has 3 dogs which also made the move from Pennsylvania to Hawaii, 2 pure bred Siberian Huskies (Frankie and Sammie) and a Shiba Inu named Tiger. A resident of the windward side of Oahu; Tom has extensive knowledge of his own backyard as well as the entire Oahu market. Doing business the old fashioned way, with integrity, honesty, and compassion. “GO CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAMS, LIVE THE LIFE YOU ALWAYS IMAGINED.”
