Tom has been managing investments since June of 2000, and is now responsible for the investment positions in all client portfolios, as well as providing market commentaries.

After graduating from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM in 1990 with a BS in Electrical Engineering and a concentration in Laser and Electro-Optics, he went to work for Decade Optical Systems, Inc., in Albuquerque as an electro-optical engineer and later division director. After eight years with the small defense contractor he had also acquired an MBA from the University of Phoenix in Albuquerque. In mid-2000 he took the opportunity to employ his business and technical skills and accepted an invitation to join Asset Management.

Tom’s technical background affords him a thorough understanding of the “new-economy,” high-tech business world dominated by computers, semiconductors, lasers, fiber optics, and advanced telecommunications. His small-business experience provides the technical, fundamental, and economic analysis, marketing, and management skills needed to build on the company’s well-established base.

Tom and his wife Vicki have three grown children. He is active in his church, Faith Lutheran, where he plays piano and sings as the leader of the Emmaus praise band. He also served on the Endowment Committee for the Faith Foundation and as a member of the Vision and Mission Team.
