Tom's Story
In the past forty years,as with all of you, many things have gone on in my life.
During High School, I worked as a cook in a local coffee shop "Gales Coffee Shop"on Lawrence and El Camino and also in Campbell,CA.This kept me from being involved in other outside activities.
In the early 70's after high school,I was a chauffeur to a retired musician. Then I became a professional singer for a while. The crazy night life and smoke-filled rooms drove me out of that field. I still do singing occassionally for local events. I enjoy doing that very much.
Most of my professional life was spent in law enforcement in one form or another. I started for the department store Emporium as a shoplift detective in Mountain View arresting shoplifters.I transferred to San Francisco then worked my way up to Security manager. I conducted Investigations for Internal theft, Fraud & Checks, and provided Celebrity protection.
I have two beautiful daughters that were born in 1973 and 1975 respectively.
After Emporium I took the state exam and received my Private Investigators license. An exciting and eventful time.
My last real job before retiring to the Central California ...Expand for more
Coast was as a Security manager / Investigator for a Pharmaceutical and Hospital Products company called Abbott Laboratories located in Morgan Hill,CA. I did that for quite a while. I retired from Abbott Labs.
I have had a couple of "Keep Busy " type jobs since retiring. One as a local restaurant cook and one working in a city parking garage. I cook for about 150 local homeless folks monthly.
I now help to maintain our household. I enjoy Music,Photography,Nature,fishing, painting, and cooking. I have had some photos published. I also enjoy putting together a musical program with my neighbor and performing as a DJ in our area several times a year. We have been talking about taking the show on the road locally. Music will always be a part of my life.
In early 2004, I moved to the Central coast after having spent most of my life in Silicon Valley. I Still have family there and visit several times a year.
I am married and very happy living on the coast near the ocean.
In a nutshell, that is it.
I am also listed on the website for Peterson high school for more info. You can contact me there if so desired. I would love to hear from any of you. Tom
