Past volunteer service has included county commission/committees and local community organizations.

An Episcopalian since childhood, he is excited to be a part of the energy and vitality he has witnessed from the church membership serving both the parish and the Arlington community. A recently retired Naval officer, he looks forward to remaining with the same church indefinitely and the ability to enjoy the benefits that long term relationships at St. Michael’s bring. Serving on the vestry is a great opportunity to do all of those things. In his free time, Tom enjoys exploring the DC area with his wife Carol, occasional travel to keep up with their three children, and learning the ropes of empty nesting.
