Tom then began his law enforcement career in May of 2004, following in his father's footsteps. His love for public service lead him to receive numerous trainings pertaining to law enforcement that enabled him to wear many hats during his career. In 2004, he began his career with the Shenandoah County Sheriff's Department, in Woodstock, Virginia. He left SCSO in February of 2016 when his family moved across the country to New Mexico. He began his work at the Artesia Police Department as a Patrol Officer. During his time in patrol he achieved the rank of Corporal.

Tom enjoyed spending time with his beloved wife and children especially doing activities outdoors such as fishing and going up to the mountains. He loved reading and learning new things and never made decisions without researching it thoroughly. He loved worshiping at his church and building connections with all people. He was quick-witted and extremely funny once you got to know him.
