Recognizing a critical gap in the market, Tom founded the first LGBTQ+ insurance agency in the United States, Community Partners Insurance Group in 2023, addressing the underserved needs of personal and small commercial lines within the LGBTQ+ community. His visionary leadership has not only expanded access to essential coverage but also set a precedent for inclusivity in the insurance sector.

When not working at the firm, Tom has had the distinction of serving on Cleveland community boards for well over 40 years including as the former executive director of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
