Personal Interests & Charitable Work

Tom is a member of the Dallas Bar Association, the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar College, and the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program. He has been a State Bar's Real Estate Legislative Affairs Committee (RELAC) member since 2011. If Tom is not in the office, don't look for him on the golf course; his expensive hobby is skiing. He and his wife Michele love to travel, although they don't like leaving their four pugs at home. That travel often involves cheering on Tom's beloved Seminoles or Michele's beloved New Orleans Saints. During hockey season, Tom still mourns the loss of his only hometown sports team from childhood, the Hartford Whalers.
