Tom ("TC") was formerly the CEO/owner of CranBarry, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods products, which he turned from a money losing operation into the dominant supplier of field hockey equipment in the country. CranBarry's field hockey customers encompass most high schools and colleges as well as the majority of players on the USA Olympic field hockey team.

More recently, Tom spent three years working with "high need" teenagers as a math teacher in the public high school in Lowell, Mass., as well as fulfilling his lifelong athletic passion by coaching high school soccer.

Prior to CranBarry, Tom worked at Bain & Company, the international strategy consulting firm headquartered in Boston. He is a graduate of Amherst College and MIT's Sloan School of Management, where he was a Seley Scholar.

Tom continues to donate his time generously to his adopted town of Lowell and to coach high school soccer.
