An early immersion in project management methodologies at Hewlett Packard sparked Tom’s initial interest in the field. Always ready to step in and move a job forward, Tom is happiest at work when a project is completed on time and under budget. His appreciation for company culture and how it can improve the workplace and work product attracted him to the team at Otak. Tom’s passion for improving the livability of the surrounding area has led to seven years serving on his local neighborhood planning commission. Outside of work, Tom enjoys spending time with his granddaughter and volunteering his management expertise on projects like The Children’s Course and the new Gladstone, Oregon library.
