Tom got his professional start as a solo artist when Guitar Player Magazine's editor Michael Molenda added a small but stellar review of one of Tom's songs called Distorted Voices which propelled Tom into the guitar community and spotlight.

Tom's interest in guitar was brought upon by the need for more out of music and as his musical creative side and song writing ability developed so did his need for something more. His main influences include: Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, and Jake E Lee. He has too many to list beyond those but if you ever opened up a guitar magazine, yeah that sums it up!

Tom spent time in and out of cover bands but that allowed Tom to hone his ability. During that time his band Intellegent Life (yes with an "e") had meetings with top labels including Geffen Records, Eminem's management company and MTV. They were becoming a strong band being managed by the great A-list publicist Duane Taylor (Tina Turner, Janet Jackson). Sadly Duane passed away but Tom kept writing and creating what was to become the path that would carry him into the future. Tom, being bored one day decided to play around with new images , jot names on paper, and write guitar riffs to highlight his fever for music. Everything seemed to come together by accident though.....Distorted Voices was born!

Enter Soundmine Studios and producer Dan Malsch. Dan helped Tom find his musical voice on guitar. What was created would be found by chance by Michael Molenda, Guitar Player Magazine's editor and chief. Molenda wrote a short but stellar review of Tom's new guitar instrumental Distorted Voices in the 2007 Issue, and from there well you are here, reading and exploring what Tom has to offer. Long story short major guitar brands like: Ibanez, DiMarzio, Zoom, and Morley have included Tom in their artist rosters and continue to support and allow Tom to do what he does. MTV, NFL Europe, German radio, internet radio, and countless followers have all been a part of Tom's journey. Tom continues to connect with people all over the world and through each one, Tom has found a home in the guitar community.

Tom's debut guitar instrumental album calledDestination Redis out now! It's a collection of riff, ideas, and some pretty loud hard rock guitar that screams what Tom is about.
