His focus on academic integrity and decades of sales experience combine to make him a uniquely credible and inspirational voice in the life insurance space.  Tom now coaches and consults with financial advisors, hosts the Whole Life Masterminds study group, and has published his first book titled “Permission to Spend: Maximize Your Retirement with the Best Kept Secret in Personal Finance.”  Tom lives in the greater Boston area with his two sons age 13 & 10, and is an avid golfer and traveler.
