Tom's passion for animals and farm work came about while working on a farm through highschool and college where he originally met Ryan. Tom has always been a hands on worker and enjoys working on vehicles and equipment which comes in handy on a farm. Tom grew fond of the work that was entailed on the farm from caring for animals to building sheds, fixing/building fences and tractor work. Shortly after meeting Ryan, Tom started working with him at his Christmas tree operation and traveling petting zoo. This started the partnership which has evolved and grown into Lilac Hedge Farm.
Tom attended Worcester State University and studied Criminal Justice. Tom is also a member of Massachusetts Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers.
