Tom's Story
Born in Tampa 1942, September 11th. to be exact. Attended Mithcell Ele., Wilson, and Plant. While at PHS the Basketball team my soph yr. went to state, and was 8-2 in football, losing only to Hillsboro and Edgewater. Oops, I forgot, we also lost to Coral Gables in a bowl game 49-0. My junior year the football team went undefeated for the first time in the school's history and won city and western conf. chapionships. My senior year the football team was mediocre at best, but the basketball team went to state, after beating Hillsboro in the city tournamet. The baseball team won the city championship, afte defeating Jefferson 4-3.
After high school I enrolled in USF as a charter member, majoring in History with a minor in Psy.

re in the states and in Viet Nam.
I married Sally in 1966. We have two grown very grown children and 5 grandchildren to dote over.
Careerwise, I started out as a Social worker with the State of Fl, and then joined Levitz Furnitue in 1972. I left them in 1978 when they wanted to transfer me to Paramus, New Jersey from sunny Tpa. Do you blame me?
I have been in real estate ever since. My first 30 years were with Mario Polo as a recruiter and trainer. i I joined Signature Realty in 2008 t
. Three years later I left Signature and joined Mihara amd Associate realty and have there since. My
leisure time is spent reading, relaxing, dining out with the wife, playing pickleball, and enjoying my grandchildren.
When will I retire? Not for awhile. You see, I usually have too much month at the end of the money.
That is about it
How have I changed since high school? Got older, but, unfortunately, not wiser
