Tom graduated from the University of Bridgeport with a degree in Business. He went on to receive his law degree from Roger Williams University School of Law. He has an extensive background in business and analytics spanning over 40+ years.
While he spent most of his career growing tech companies, he jumped at the opportunity to be able to partner with his daughter Rachael when she decided to open her own business. While Rachael had paved her way as a well-respected BCBA, she had never run a business – which is where Tom stepped in. With his expertise in business and hers in Behavioral Therapy, they joined forces to create Strides Behavioral Services, LLC in 2021.
Just over 3 years later, in August 2024, they opened an additional clinic as well as Strides Academy. In Tom’s eyes, the sky is the limit! He repeatedly states that this is the best job he has ever had, working in a field where he can help others, with the best employees he has ever worked alongside.
In his spare time, Tom enjoys traveling with his wife of 40 years, Sheila, and spending quality time with his children and 11 (woah!) grandchildren.
