It helps to know that Tom is a serial entrepreneur, a problem solver, a big picture guy with a passion for delivering above and beyond what others promise. Tom likes to challenge his team to be the catalyst in making the impossible possible. This results in making customers "raving fans" and downright giddy about working with StormWind
(just ask any of them... or better yet, watch our client success stories on stormwind.com) He ignites StormWind Studios with his drive for bottom-line client successes.
Having been a founder, CEO of Mastering Computers, a groundbreaking computer learning enterprise (Nasdaq: MAST and acquired by Computer Associates), and then co-founder & CEO of KnowledgeNet, a pioneer in e-learning and online training (acquired by Thompson Reuters NYSE: TRI), Tom certainly knows how to leverage training, marketing, and sales departments to move the revenue needle. He one of the few two-time winners of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year program for both of his companies.
With the success of StormWind, he has continued to help large and mid-sized companies achieve rapid growth and profitability through the powerful learning cocktail of "Hollywood meets Business." He never promises what he can't deliver, so don't be too surprised if he promises the moon. Tom is a big lover of golf, skiing and all things competitive. Challenge him to a game of golf and get ready for a fierce battle. He'll leave it all on the course, you'll know that much.
Ask him one thing he would be doing if he didn't lead yet another successful start-up and he'll tell you it's working with his church youth group side-by-side with his family. Our famous charitable "give-back" program was started by Tom as a pillar of StormWind's business charter. Learn more about it here as well as some other causes that inspire us.
