Tom first took up an interest in the pipes while living in Virginia. His mother always told him he had enough air to blow up a potato sack, so playing bagpipes should be second nature. He found the local band, the Emerald Society of Greater Richmond, and became immersed in performing and competition. Fate would bring him to Texas where he became involved with Hamilton school of piping led by Lars Sloan. Soon to follow, he also joined another performing band named Tartanic, which he toured with all over most of the US, playing at multiple festivals and highland games. Currently, Tom is a member of the highly acclaimed world champion pipe band, the Grade 2 St. Thomas Alumni Band, formerly known as the Hamilton Pipe Band. The alumni band is led by PM Jeremy Freeman and directed by gold medalist Mike Cusak.
