Tom joined the Osprey Village Board equipped with skills and experience that will continue to be invaluable to the success of the OVI mission.

Raised in middle Tennessee, Tom began his adult education in the sciences, graduating from the University of Miami in Florida in Psycho-biology and Chemistry, but later switched to law and earned his law degree from the University of Miami in Florida in 1996. He then moved to Hilton Head Island and practiced law.

His life took another direction in 2000 when he began what has developed into a highly successful real estate career. In law and real estate, Tom developed the critical communication talent and negotiating skills that are essential not only to his success as a multi-million dollar broker and current Broker-in-Charge at Charter One Realty, but also to the movement to empower people with developmental disabilities.

Tom brings to OVI his enormous motivation, passion, and insight as the father of a child with a developmental disability.
