Professional Experience

From an early age, Tom knew he wanted to become a lawyer, and his specific desire to represent businesses began to take shape during his undergraduate years at Miami University’s Farmer School of Business in Oxford, Ohio, and his study of business-related classes at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in Columbus, Ohio.

Today, Tom’s practice primarily involves corporate and commercial transactional work for various size companies, including entity formation, contract review and negotiations, mergers and acquisitions, succession planning, and employment matters. In addition, he provides services to many lending institutions on real estate financing and other collateralized transactions and provides loan collection and workout services to such clients. He also provides real estate and estate planning services to individual clients.

Tom and his wife reside in Sidney and have three sons. When not working, Tom can usually be found at a high school sporting event involving one or more of his sons. On occasion, he has been known to slip in a round of golf when the opportunity presents itself.
