Tom here. Thanks 4 taking ur time to read about me. So this is pretty much all of my life in a nut shell. I have a 21 year old son I have raised by myself since 7th grade. He graduated from GIA school and now is a gemologist selling in St. Thomas VI.. Alex is at the top of my friend's list. My 85 yr old Mom is in my life and has no sites but sees very well. She is the original "Little Old Lady From Pasadena".
Playing oboe [that musical instrument] in the motion picture biz. for 27 years.
Went to Juilliard in NY, then got the principal oboe job in Honolulu Symphony and played my music and surfed out in the middle of the Pacific for 10 years. Came back and was blessed to jump into the motion picture scene here in LA. Still doing those movies you might see or hear about out there. That's more than enough 4 now.
I like the high of going to gym [I mean the way I feel after], and most importantly thoroughly love to meet new people as much as possible. At home is great as are trips close or far away.
Best to U all and hope to make a friend or two on this site. Thanks again for taking the time to read about and to listen to this guy playing his oboe.
