EXPERIENCE:
Tom got his "foot in the door" of the veterinary field
by volunteering for Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in 1979. He then
worked for 2 years at the Humane Society in the spay and neuter
clinic. He worked at United Emergency Animal Clinic between 1982-1994,
and Central Animal Hospital from 1992-1994. Tom began his career
here at Los Gatos Dog and Cat Hospital in 1996-and feels more at
home here than anywhere he has ever worked. He spent 3 emotionally
trying years working for Fawn Rescue and Rehabilitation in Santa
Clara County.
PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Tom was born and raised in San Jose. He bought his first home this
year in Felton. He loves to travel (Hawaii, New York and the Cook
Islands are among his favorite places). He also loves scuba diving
and hopes someday to live in a tropical place. Tom will forever
be in pursuit of the perfect backhand in tennis. His favorite movie
is Casablanca.
His rescued and adopted animal companions include Sheba the shepherd
mix, Shadow the terrier mix, Marvin the catahoula mix, Baby the
cute grey kitty, Ziggy the iguana, Mortimer the Russian tortoise,
Runaway the red eared slider turtle, and Sarah, Jessica and Parker,
3 recently adopted cockatiels. (He doesn't actually have time to
work!). Tom volunteered his time, his care giving skills, and his
compassion for animals to the Esther
Honey Foundation in the Cook Islands from July to December 1999.
