Tom decided to become an attorney while attending Holy Cross High School in Waterbury, CT. He wanted a career that involved helping people and chose to be a legal advocate at a young age, never wavering from this decision. Even today, he takes great pride and satisfaction in advocating for those that are injured and helping them through the difficult process of putting their lives back together.
He has lectured on various law topics, written articles for legal publications, and was an adjunct professor for Teikyo Post University, teaching law to night students.
Tom believes strongly in giving back to the community. He has been on various committees for charitable organizations, including Children’s Community School and the former Waterbury Child Guidance Agency, now Wellpath. He was also a volunteer board of directors for the Visiting Nurses of America. In addition, he was president of the Watertown Golf Club for two years and served on their board of governors for 8 years. Tom currently serves on the Parish Council for his church in Watertown.1
