I love stories. Big stories. Little stories. How something came to be—or where it might go next. All of it.
As a kid, I loved watching the Discovery Channel. I’d be transported across the world to learn about the smallest animal, how an entire environment worked together, or a person making a difference for their community—or even the whole world. I thought it was the greatest thing: that so much effort and attention could be focused into making something feel so extraordinary.
As a creative, I keep that same ethos:
Every story deserves its spotlight. Never overlook the small things.
In my decade-plus career, I’ve been lucky to work on documentaries, branded content, commercials, and social campaigns. Whether by curiosity or necessity, I became a jack-of-all-trades—working as a cinematographer, editor, photographer, producer, director, audio producer, motion graphic artist, and drone pilot. I’ve operated as a one-man-band, collaborated within teams, and led both on-set crews and post-production departments.
As Post-Production Director at Oxenfree Film & Motion, I lead our post team across creative, technical, and strategic responsibilities. I manage workflows from ingest to archive, supervise editing, color, and sound, and ensure every project meets our creative standards. Whether I’m building remote editing pipelines, onboarding talent, or giving final QC, I make sure the process runs as smoothly as the final product looks.
Before Oxenfree, I led multimedia production at UCF Communications & Marketing, transforming a handful of part-time photographers into an award-winning multimedia team recognized with Addys, Tellys, CASE Awards, and more. I’ve also worked at the ad agency &Barr and for a range of freelance clients, producing commercial campaigns and social content for brands across food/beverage, retail, services, and nonprofit sectors.
“Sure sure, that all sounds great, but who is Tom?”
Well, thank you for asking! A few fun facts:
Once upon a time, I was a semi-pro musician.
I live in Florida, but I’d rather be in the forest or mountains than at the beach.
Best concert ever? A tie between the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert, Brandi Carlile, and Butch Walker.
If I won the lottery, too much money would be spent on Legos and vinyl records.
