About

I was born and raised in Delco and studied journalism at Delaware County Community College and Temple University in Philadelphia. I love to read, watch baseball, and I once saw John Stamos play the drums for the Beach Boys.

Hello, I’m Tom. I’m passionate about telling people’s stories. I’m an award-winning writer, editor, and multiplatform content producer based in Philadelphia.

My byline can be found at CBS News Philadelphia, NBC Sports Philadelphia, Delaware County Daily Times, PA Prep Live, NBC Olympics, and Philadelphia Neighborhoods.

I’m a digital content professional and journalist with more than 10 years of experience creating, editing, and publishing content for major news and sports organizations on multiple platforms.

I fell in love with traditional and non-traditional storytelling first at community college, where I served as reporter, editor, and executive editor of the student newspaper, The Communitarian, and then at Temple, where I worked as the web editor for The Temple News and covered religion for Philadelphia Neighborhoods. For six years, I covered Philly professional and collegiate sports for NBC Sports Philadelphia. In between, I covered two Olympics for NBC Sports. Currently, I’m a content producer at CBS News Philadelphia.

I’ve been fortunate to tell powerful stories throughout my career. There was profiling the first openly gay Presbyterian pastor ordained in Philadelphia; a feature on Humboldt Broncos crash survivor Ryan Straschnitzki; a long-form profile of a small-town punk rocker who found creative freedom during the 1990s squatting scene in Philadelphia; and a feature on a Temple student suffering from addiction, their recovery, and Prevention Point Philadelphia, the city’s syringe-exchange program.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching Philly sports, and listening to music. My favorite album is Dave Hause’s 2017 “Bury Me in Philly.” I also enjoy Star Wars, black coffee, and Nic Cage movies.
