Bio
Michael Regan
In addition to being one of the smartest guys I know, Tom is without a doubt one of the kindest and most emotionally intelligent people that I know. We all know smart people, but Tom brings an emotional IQ and a set of soft skills to the table that many simply don't have. He's a team player who shows genuine concern for the well-being of others. He'll always take the time to ask how family is, how your health is, etc. and takes a sincere interest in getting to know people. In addition to being a true professional, Tom is a gentleman who is considerate, bright and has a great sense of humor. I strongly endorse Tom and would be happy to speak to any hiring manager who is considering him for a position.

Having worked with Thomas for 2+ years I must say he is an excellent executive to have on any team! He is not only friendly and helpful but also goes above and beyond to maintain the team spirit.

He instills positive energy in every team member, keeping everyone focused on what needs to be achieved.
