Life Tom has acted on the nationally syndicated Jenny Jones Show, appeared as an extra in the film Mighty Ducks, acted locally and nationally in over thirty stage productions. His "celebrity" impersonations have riviled some of the top in the business. Among his favorites are Lily Tomlin's Ma Bell favorite operator "Ernestine" and the timeless Frank Sinatra. His voice has echoed the tones of Karen Carpenter, Henry Fonda, Judy Garland, Billie Holiday, Elvis Presley and Ronald Regan to name a few.
He memorized the mannerisms of the screen stars that he saw and created an impressionist act. He worked at playgrounds doing character roles in children's plays. By age thirteen he was donned "Little Groucho" from the now famous Groucho Marx and readily did Mae West and W.C. Fields when he was just ten years old in grade school. He went to college and pursed a degree in Musical Theatre and minored in Psychology.
Work Tom has a passion for ministries preaching the gospel and has just finished "One Last Dance" a Christian Drama written by budding playwright Jim Miles, author of Fire in Berlin. Tom worked with Jim on his website fireinberlin.com and several other Christian Dramas including "The Christmas Inn" where Jim put Tom in the title role as Burke Tripps, the glowing fan of Carol Channing-desparately searching for her, and her autograph --and finds the true meaning of Christmas found only in a lasting and loving relationship with Jesus Christ.
He continues to wow crowds and has recently started working with Tony Eaves Band Sound Element based out of the Twin Cities, specializing in Blues and Broadway tunes.
