Bio
Wes Eichenwald
I've known Tom for more years than I care to recall and can recommend him unreservedly as not only a skilled and stylish writer and dedicated researcher, but as one of the best editors I've ever worked with. He understands the demands and responsibilities of writing books and magazine articles about a great variety of subjects, and has always been a pleasure to work with.
Sarah Wolf
Tom has delighted many an audience with his in depth knowledge of his subject area and ability to give riveting talks. I worked closely with Tom for years and he's not only an accomplished author, but sought after speaker which many of my book accounts invited for speaking engagements and book signings.
