Thomas on paper, but you can call me Tom.

I’m a believer that unique ideas come from unusual upbringings. I'll get you caught up.

I was born the garlic-loving grandson of one of the first female vampires in a movie. Growing up, I spent summers milking cows and shooting guns on an alpaca farm in middle-of-nowhere Arizona.

I ran unopposed for SGA president in my high school of 100, where I decided dictatorship posters seemed more fitting.After graduating, I went to the “Disneyland equivalent" of college, where free ice-cream trucks roamed the fountain-studded campus.

Realizing a love for improv and giving my parents fits, I moved to Chicago to chase the Second City dream. Upon arrival, I was offered employment at a sports gambling website. My boss there discovered that I had talent for copywriting, suggesting I make a portfolio. Which brings me to you.

Let's skip the path less traveled and just take a hot air balloon.
