Bio
Alexander Macris
In business, it's all about who you know. I happened to "know" Tom because he was my ex-girlfriend's best friend's ex-boyfriend's boss's frat brother. It was a fortuitous connection that changed the course of my business trajectory. My first start-up, WarCry, was ailing. Tom brought a fiery energy and daring level of entrepreneurship into our organization that brought us to our eventual success. In 12 years of working together, I found Tom to be endlessly clever, relentlessly energetic, positive, success-focused, and tireless in his commitment to the company. To quote Rudyard Kipling, "If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too; If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;" - then you'd be Tom Kurz.

I have been doing business with Tom Kurz for four years now, and I can tell you that Tom is a lot like General George S. Patton in that he will roll-up his pant legs and jump in the river in order to see for himself whether it is shallow enough for his tanks to cross; Tom Kurz knows that unless you know for 100% sure, you don’t know anything, and that not knowing anything can put the team in mortal jeopardy. Plain-spoken, business-minded, and honorable to a fault, Tom Kurz is the kind of partner you want to conscribe in your corporate warfare.
