Tom’s images have appeared in Vouge, Trains Magazine, Railnews, CTC Board, Motorbook Press and Voyageur Press, Far Country Press, Country Magazine along with others. Tom was born and raised in Yorktown Heights, New York, 35 miles north of New York City. After graduating from Mount Saint Mary’s University in 1996, he left the east coast and headed out on a cross country journey seeking solitude and the ability to explore and photograph the American West’s. It was during this cross country adventure that Tom first visited Colorado and fell in love with it’s mountains and landscapes. Tom settled in Boulder, Colorado due to it’s proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park and close access to open space and public lands. Tom has since moved a few miles east of Boulder, and now resides in the town of Erie.

While Tom photographs all over Colorado and the American West, Tom’s photography primarily focuses on Rocky Mountain National Park and the many Open Space properties found in and around Boulder, Colorado. Tom primarily used 4×5 inch large format camera’s and 6x17cm panoramic camera to photograph the landscape. In recent years, Tom has migrated most of his work to high quality digital camera systems that provide similar quality and added flexibility. Currently Tom uses a Nikon Z7 and a Nikon D850 body along with a handful of Nikkor lenses between 14mm and 700mm when in the field.
