Tom is from the Central New York area and is a veteran DJ and entertainer with over 20 years experience.  He started working in radio while studying advertising/public relations in college.  He has performed with local rock groups and started his mobile DJ service while finishing college and working as a DJ in Top-40 radio at ROCK 107/WTLB.
     Tom's musical background and production experience helped to form his talents as an entertainer and master of ceremonies for many events, including wedding receptions, reunions, trade shows and other major events.  Tom's Dee Jay Network continues to grow, training and providing top DJ's throughout the central New York region.
    Tom also owns and operates AD-Ventures in ADvertising, an ad agency where he produces TV and radio commercials, writes and records jingles, original music, and produces on-hold recordings for companies both local and nation-wide: www.deejayonhold.com.
     Tom and his family live locally.  When Tom isn't DJing, he enjoys spending time with his children, writing and recording music, crips autumn days when the trees burst with color, a cold brew in an adirondack chair (preferrably on a deck overlooking an adirondack lake) skiing and throwing parties in his own basement bar, Burke's Tavern, where HE gets to pick the music.
