During his school years he played baseball. He then went to Denver Automotive Diesel College and graduated in 1974. When he completed that program he returned to Eagle Point to work as a mechanic. Tom was also was a volunteer fire captain for the Eagle Point fire department for four years then volunteer fireman for the Jackson County District #3 another three years. His two oldest daughters Amy and Amanda were born in 1976 and 1978. He then bought and operated the Eagle Point Auto Parts from 1978 to 1981. When time permitted he enjoyed riding motorcycles. In 1982, he worked one year for the Butte Falls Forest Service. In 1983 he worked for one year in the oil fields in Evanston Wyoming. (In Wyoming??) In 1983 he met Becky and (Lindy, at age of 1 14). They settled down as a family together and in 1986 started their own family in Butte Falls. Brittany was born in 1986, Julie in 1987, Kylie in 1989 and Thomas in 1990.

Tom has his certifications in Waste Water Treatment and Waste Water Collections from the DEQ. In March he is going for his Waste Water Treatment 2 Certification and in May his Water Distributions 1 Certifications from the Health Division. Tom still volunteers in his community when needed and is able. Last Spring he helped coach Little League and is currently a Cub Scout leader with the new Pack 64. by Becky Hayes y*. p.s. Currently Tom ’s big endeavor has been overseeing the new water lines being placed into our town. It has been a challenge making sure that everything is done to code and staying on schedule and most important keeping the citizens of Butte Falls happy while the streets were being ground up and there was much more mud to deal with. He has done a good job and has learned much I'm sure over the last few months. It helps too when you have a good team to work with such as Jack Hayes, Pete Vorbeck and Burl Brim Construction.
