First things first, get out to this festival!!! Click for more info:
Hey! Howdy! I'm Tommy from Phoenix, AZ. By day I'm a software developer. By night, well, anything can happen, but it most likely will always having something to do with improv!
When I'm not playing or rehearsing for The Remainders , I'm playing or rehearsing for The Phoenix Neutrino Project .
When I'm not playing or rehearsing with The Phoenix Neutrino Project , I'm planning The Phoenix Improv Festival .
When I'm not planning The Phoenix Improv Festival , you can find me planning, playing or teaching for The Torch Theatre .
If you don't find me find me planning, playing or teaching for The Torch Theatre , then I am most likely on set at the next short film project.
If you don't find me on set of some short film project then you can be sure I am sleeping.
So come on out and see The Phoenix Neutrino Project perform an "instant film" every third Saturday at The Paper Heart or see past shows and upcoming dates at www.phoenixneutrino.com .
Or come see The Remainders perform a fully improvised, never-before-seen, never-to-be-seen-again musical at The Paramount Theater in Casa Grande on every second Saturday of the month or various Fridays guest starring with Galapagos (who perform every Friday) at Space55 in downtown Phoenix.

Ah, but here's MY story: I was born in Pottsville, PA, home of America's oldest brewery--Yuengling, woo hoo! If you're a beer drinker, this stuff is gold. I spent my early years in Pennsylvania, including university days which I spent at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. I moved to Phoenix in 1995 for a jobby-job. I have been here lovin' it ever since but left that job long ago!!
So what's with the left-brain right-brain entrapment? Well, I'm sure you've met us. We're the Geminis of the world. The extroverts that need their personal time. The partiers who sometimes stay in for an entire weekend. The people who can be seen drying fresh flowers upside down in one room, and a coffee table covered with girlie mags and a carburetor in the other. We're the people who have the darndest time spelling carburetor.
I can play piano; I can pour concrete. My garage is filled with tools; my kitchen is filled with ingredients. I kiss girls; I hug boys. I love to watch a full orchestra perform Mozart's symphonies; I love to watch boobies when toobing down the Salt River. Some days I sip a Sapphire martini listening to jazz at the Merc bar; other days a fistful of 8th Street Ale at Four Peaks or Papago brewery is my fancy. I like spelling it 'toobing' instead of tubing; I hate seeing people misuse your and you're.
Woah, you're still reading? Your still reading? Ok good, then let's go camping--I love taking the Jeep out and hittin some trails and then camping it up. See?
I also love BIG home remodeling projects. I have a ton to work on in my new house in the Willo Historic district of downtown Phoenix, so stay tuned for photos! And sure, I did this forever ago, but here's a little example of my last remodeling project.
