Tom grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, where piano lessons and involvement in church music began to feed his interest in music making.   Further education stirred in him a passion for pianos, piano music and piano performance.  Through Tom’s playing and arranging, you’ll find the piano comes alive in creative expression.                                                                                                                                                                               Involvement in church music, as a worship pastor, choral conductor and arranger, gives Tom opportunity to further develop creative work.  This work may be found in choral arrangements or worship songs for the congregation.  There are also solo piano works, or other instrumental arrangements for woodwinds or brass. Check again in the future on this site for how some of that work may be experienced.                                                                                                                                                                                 Tom has an interest in encouraging those who are involved in worship ministry and will periodically have updated columns: The "Word" on Worship and Devotionals for Choirs. Check them out and share them with someone involved in ministry.
