About

Born in Santa Barbara and raised in rural New Hampshire, Tom was a voracious reader as a child. He got into interactive storytelling when he became a gamemaster for some pen-and-paper role-playing games. Though he went to law school to become a literary agent, his life took a different path, and Tom began working in the entertainment industry with new media. He worked on some of the webisodes for Smallville, and wrote the webisode series The Lex Files for the show. He has also written short stories and articles for DC Comics and Smallville Magazine.
