I was born in Columbus, but we moved soon after. I grew up in Arizona then joined the military. From 1987 to 1990 I was a medic in the 82nd Airborne of the US Army, with service in Honduras. During the Persian Gulf War in 1991 I was assigned at Fort Letterman Army Medical Center. I then joined the Navy Reserve, and I was assigned to a Marine Corps Company as a Corpsman. During this time I attended Arizona State University and graduated with a BA in English. It was also during this time that I met my wife. After college I attended Capital University Law School on a full-ride scholarship. This brought me back to Columbus. I was on the Dean's list every year and I earned two concentrations, including one in Dispute Resolution. After law school, my wife and I returned to Arizona where I became a prosecutor before going into private practice. But my wife and I missed Columbus, so once again we packed up everything. As an attorney, I believe clients have the right to expect access and communication from their attorneys. Law is a service industry, and good customer service is key. As an Ohio Attorney Tom is ready to help his clients through financial and legal difficulties.
