tom's fish pond Love of home and commitment to Silver Spring
Tom moved to close-in Silver Spring in 1993 when he bought his 1938 Cape Cod in nearly original condition. Along with his dad, friends, and some help from neighborhood contractors, he has expanded and completely renovated his home from top to bottom and it was featured in the neighborhood Home & Garden Tour in 2000. His experience and knowledge of home renovation enables him to consult and guide sellers to maximize their return on investment. Buyers appreciate his in-depth knowledge of all of the close-in Silver Spring neighborhoods.

When he’s not working with sellers or zipping around Silver Spring with buyers, Tom enjoys spending time at home with his partner Jimmy and their two dogs, Copper and Gigi. An avid gardener, Tom especially enjoys the multi-tiered koi and goldfish ponds he built in 2001. In addition to gardening, Tom loves to entertain and put Jimmy’s culinary talents to the test. Their backyard is a favorite hang-out and party spot for all their friends, neighbors, family and Pure Energy Team members!

Love of adventure travel
Tom spent his college summers as a whitewater canoe guide in northern Maine and the adventure “bug” is still with him today. An avid scuba diver, Tom has spent many vacations underwater in the both the eastern and western Caribbean, and looks forward to one day tackling Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Tom’s favorite vacation to date was his seven-day whitewater adventure down the Colorado River. “The thrill of the river combined with the awesome beauty of the Grand Canyon was just spectacular.” Where in the world will we find Tom next?
