Additionally, Tom expertly manages the financial lives of over 200 professional athletes, diligently focusing on wealth accumulation, wealth preservation, and asset protection.

Beyond his financial acumen, Tom harbors an ardent passion for sports, as evidenced by his investment interest in the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. He also served as the CFO of Baseball Miracles, a noble nonprofit organization that empowers underprivileged children by providing them with instruction and equipment to play baseball. Both of Tom's sons, Thomas Jr., and Matthew, played professional baseball for the Chicago White Sox before joining Archer Financial.

Born in the South Bronx, not far from the iconic Yankee Stadium, Tom's journey began with his education at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Grammar School and St. John the Baptist High School. There, he demonstrated exceptional talent, earning All-League honors in baseball. Throughout his youth, Tom also pursued boxing and later ventured into the world of mixed martial arts, achieving a distinguished black belt. While Tom received numerous baseball scholarship offers, he ultimately chose to attend Mercy University, where he captained the Mercy Flyers during his senior year.

Tom graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning his business degree with honors in finance. He then pursued further professional development, obtaining his certified financial planning designation CFP® from the College for Financial Planning in Denver, Colorado. Embodying a lifelong commitment to learning, he remains a firm advocate of higher education and consistently expands his knowledge by enrolling in current business classes at The Wharton School.

Throughout his remarkable career, Tom has led several prominent life insurance companies in production.
