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

While Tom received numerous baseball scholarship offers, he ultimately chose to attend Mercy University, where he captained the Mercy Flyers during his senior year.
Following his collegiate endeavors, Tom encountered an opportunity to pursue a professional baseball career. Unfortunately, a leg injury sidelined him, but he humbly acknowledges that his abilities fell short of reaching the major leagues. Nevertheless, he graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning his business degree with honors, with a focus on finance. Tom then pursued further professional development, obtaining his certified financial planning designation from the esteemed College for Financial Planning in Denver, Colorado.

Both of Tom's sons, Thomas Jr. and Matthew, played professional baseball before joining Archer Financial.
Throughout his remarkable career, Tom has held prominent leadership positions within several prominent life insurance companies, consistently surpassing production expectations. Notably he is renowned for orchestrating one of the largest life insurance policies ever written—an astounding sum of approximately $300 million dollars. Tom's expertise extends beyond his client interactions, as he is a highly sought-after speaker, delivering captivating lectures on topics such as motivation, entrepreneurial success, and winning in life.
