About Tom

A Journey From the Farm to Your Front Door

From Farm Life to Finding Your Dream Home – Meet Tom, Your Trusted Lancaster Realtor

I'm a Lancaster native, born and raised on a dairy farm between Quarryville and the Buck. Growing up in this beautiful countryside instilled in me a natural vision for a world full of limitless opportunity and the value of hard work.


But I was never just your typical farm kid. My adventurous spirit led me to Hollywood at 19, where I pursued a career as a stuntman and appeared as an extra in popular TV shows and movies. This experience taught me to take calculated risks and think outside the box—skills that serve my real estate clients well today.


A Journey of Diverse Experience


After returning to Lancaster, I followed another passion by becoming a Young Life leader at Solanco High School. During my time in youth ministry, I built meaningful relationships and learned how to truly listen to people's needs and dreams—a cornerstone of my approach to real estate today.


My professional path then led me through project management, 5 years in retail banking, and 3 years working directly under two Certified Financial Planners in an investment firm. This background has given me an in-depth understanding of credit, lending, investing, and market dynamics that surpasses the knowledge of most realtors.


Finding My True Calling in Real Estate


My passion for real estate began over a decade ago when I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," followed by several books that furthered my education on real estate investing. For years, my wife and I considered moving out west, which delayed my entry into the profession. However, after starting our family, we realized that Lancaster is where we want to call home for the foreseeable future.


This decision finally allowed me to pursue my true calling as a realtor, combining my financial expertise with my passion for helping others achieve their dreams.


A Different Kind of Realtor


My unique background enables me to not only find you the right home but to help you find a property that aligns with your long-term financial goals. In today's challenging market, with low inventory and high interest rates, you need more than just a realtor—you need a strategic partner who understands both real estate and finance.
