Tom received his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in 1976 and joined LDA that same year. In 1984 he became a Principal, and in 1990 was appointed as Chief Executive.

He has served his hometown of Lafayette as a member of the Design Review Commission, as a representative for the development of the new Seaborg Learning Center, as member of the New Library Art Selection Committee, on the Parks Improvement Advisory Committee, and as a member of the Downtown Specific Plan Advisory Committee.
