"Alex and Tom on Gull Lake (September 2005)"

I was born an Army brat in Ft. Leonardwood, Missouri on July 31, 1961 at the post hospital. Two weeks later we moved to Texas, then Alabama, then Michigan, then Georgia, then Michigan again, then Alabama again, then Michigan again, then Virginia, then Kansas, then Indiana, then Michigan, and finally California where I graduated from Palma High School in Salinas. I have 1 sister, Kelly, who is married Bill Bilisko and lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

"Kelly, Tom, Judy and Tom, Jr."

Most of my relatives are from Michigan and that is where we lived while my dad did 1 tour of Korea and 2 tours of Vietnam.

In the fall of 1979 I enrolled at Western Michigan University. I started out in ROTC with a declared major of Computer Science. After 2 years I switched my major to the Business College (Computer Information Systems) with a minor in Computer Science, and a minor in General Business. One month before I started at WMU I was hired as a dishwasher at Mountain Jacks. After a year I became a cook and after another year I became a Key-Employee cook, which was a fancy way for them to give managerial responsibility to the hourly employees without paying them managerial wages. It was a good experience and I stayed with Mountain Jacks until 6 months after I graduated from WMU; at which time I took a position as a programmer/analyst with American Annuities Life Insurance Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan. After 1-1/2 years I became a programmer/analyst for First of America Bank, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. 2-1/2 more years passed, then I took a programmer/analyst position with WMU.

"Tom and Kathy July 11, 1987"

While working for First of America I met my future wife, Kathy Nyberg. We dated for 11 months then married and now have 2 children: Lauren and Alex. In 1988 I took a programming position in Western Michigan University's Administrative Computing Services department and have been there ever since. I currently live in Parchment, Michigan (a suburb of Kalamazoo). I enjoy boating, tennis, coaching, playing basketball, and working on cutting edge projects for WMU's Office of Information Technology. Life is good!
