Much of Tom’s early career was spent in the Medical Device/Healthcare Services arena, where he began his career in medical sales, and quickly became entranced with marketing. He worked for organizations such as American Hospital Supply and Pfizer in product management and marketing services. Tom has also worked in advertising as director of client services for a regional advertising firm. From there, he went on to found two successful medical companies, taking one of them public. This professional and educational experience, combined with a razor-sharp vision, provided the catalyst for his creation of FIG, parlaying his skills and growing assets into an unparalleled and diverse portfolio. A strong believer in the need for corporations to be outstanding citizens of the world, Tom has created the ability for FIG to move deftly between the world of for-profit and non-profit, with an emphasis on making the world a better place. “The ultimate goal of business is not,” as Tom always, says, “To make money for the shareholders, but rather to improve the lives of the people it touches.” His singular vision and drive have attracted an experienced team of executives and strategic partnerships to FIG, positioning the organization for strong and sustained growth. His unmatched creativity allows for new ways of solving old problems, and mandating an “out-of- the-box” approach that is both refreshing and productive. Always relishing the challenge of “creating something from nothing”, he has a consummate desire to raise the bar in luxury hospitality, real estate, investment, development and philanthropy. Tom attended Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychobiology and his Masters in Higher Education Administration. In addition, a significant portion of course work was in the doctoral-level program in the School of Psychology. At the time of his attendance, he was the youngest student ever to take doctoral- level courses at the School of Psychology. Tom currently resides in Palm Springs, CA.
