Tom has built his career perfecting customer service and improving business operational processes. A graduate of SUNY at Albany and raised in New York, he began working in the retail industry ensuring the product consistency and delivery chain information for 1-800-Flowers. From there, he moved into managing purchasing and inventory controls for MSC Industrial Direct where he implemented system changes which resulted in over $60 million in inventory cost savings for the company. He joined Haier America and held a series of executive positions in inventory management, purchasing, sales operations and customer care. He played a pivotal role in the opening of a huge warehouse in New Jersey which led to his thorough understanding of operations management for large facilities of that nature. It was this experience that led him to pursue a career in the solar electric industry. Most recently, he worked as a sales executive at Delaware Renewable Energy and Clean Energy USA.

Tom lives in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with his wife and four children and spends his personal time coaching indoor soccer, teaching Sunday school and working on several committees in his church.
