A Texas native, Tom grew up in Crockett, and graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering.
Tom and his wife, Marsha, raised their three children in Spring Branch ISD, and have spent 30 of those years in Precinct 3. His family now includes seven grandchildren, all of whom still live in the West Houston area––five in Precinct 3.
Tom’s love for this county and its people also drives his work in the church, where he has taught adult Bible studies for more than 40 years. He currently teaches two classes at Second Baptist Houston, where he serves as a deacon, and is Treasurer on the board of Loving Kids, a local initiative launched to help under-served Houston children.
