About Tom

Tom hails from Milwaukee and, yes, he did work in a brewery. He's a first-generation American, the son of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Tom earned a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. His first screenplay, The Big Beyond, won the Shriekfest Film Festival's Best SciFi Feature Screenplay. Encouraged by his early success he wrote others in different genres, including a Dramedy called Good Saint Binky that won Stage 32's 4th Annual Feature Screenwriting Contest. Tom currently lives in the San Francisco Bay area.

Unique traits: I used to make those fuzzy covers people slip over their toilet tanks and seats. Lost that job when a tornado laid waste to the factory.

Oh...I also used to own the domain name Zoom.us before I sold it back in 2012. I wonder what they did with that...
