There's lots of different facets to Tom. He truely loves the outdoors and gets out as much as possible. Sometimes you can catch him roller blading at Santa Monica Beach or you might just see him on his mountain bike heading for nearby mountains. "There's really something about being in the mountains or watching the waves come in. It gets me closer to God. Many times when my chips were down I would spend hours out in the wilderness just absorbing all the scenery. It's the best way for me to collect my thoughts. I've got a thing for wildlife too. Just watching animals go about their daily rituals helps me to understand my own human nature a little better. One thing about animals they don't try to be anything but what they are."

"Meet my dog Cowboy. I know everyone thinks this but it's really true! Cowboy's the best dog in the world! He's part Golden Retreiver and part something else (maybe Collie). I'm not sure because he came to our home just after the 1994 eathquake here in Los Angeles. A friend found him waundering the streets of Santa Monica with a badly cut ear. Poor puppy must have been on his own for awhile because he was in bad need of grooming and was totally flea infested. Apparently he was allergic to the fleas because he had majorly raw hot spots all over his behind. My friend kept him for awhile but couldn't keep him where she was living and couldn't afford the pet costs. He's really a great dog and he's brought so much unconditional love into me and my roomate Brian's lives. Yes there is a Cowboy dog song."

   "Mr. Moose Moss is the newest addition in our home. He's a beautiful cat and he's got that cat thing down pretty good! You can't tell from this picture but this kitty is a hefty 25 pounds! I've tried everything I could think of to help him slim down his figure but so far nothing seems to work. I've come to the conclusion that maybe that's what he's suppose to weigh. He's just a full figured kind of cat!"
