Tom began singing with the Cape Fear Chordsmen of Wilmington, NC when after being invited by Robert Cox to sing in their first Holiday Chorus for the benefit of the Salvation Army in 1996. This was shortly after Tom had relocated to Wilmington, NC from Lynchburg, VA. The hook was firmly set and Tom has been a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society since early 1997. Tom has served on the Board for the Cape Fear Chordsmen as VP of Membership, Treasurer, VP of Music and Performance and President at various times over the years. Tom has also served as show chairman, assistant director and has sung in various quartets within the chapter for shows and Singing Valentines. A few years back, Tom found himself in the midst of an effort to understand what the legal process would need to be to successfully form a new district according to the Society by-laws. He was a contributor to the formulation of the original all-chapter resolution which eventually led to the formation of the Carolinas Association of Barbershop Singers and then the Carolinas District. Since then, Tom has served the District on the Governance Committee that pulled together the original Bylaws and Code of Regulations adopted upon formation of the District. Tom agreed to serve as the second District Treasurer in May, 2011 when the position became vacant. Tom also led the Music and Performance track at the 2012 Leadership Academy.
