Tom was born a long, long, time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. OK, maybe SoCal is not so far away, but it was certainly a very long time ago. Tom has been steadily growing older ever since without ever actually reaching maturity or accomplishing anything of any consequence.

He moved to Phoenix, from SoCal at the ripe old age of 9 months and has lived in this cultural desert ever since. He attended public schools, where he distinguished himself by not getting in nearly as much trouble as he would have if the authorities had been aware of what he was doing.

During his more adventurous twenties, he did such exciting things as sky dive, raft down the Colorado river, and bungee jump. During his thirties, he helped out a local power pop band, Spinning Jenny, by working as the executive producer of their debut CD, "Pinata Full of Bees," which sold over 1800 copies world wide back in 1995.

For nearly a year, Tom was co-owner/operator of the best darn Belly Dance Studio on the west side of Phoenix, Shirley's Delhi. Unfortunately, very few people knew how great the place was, so we had to close it down due to a lack of positive cash flow.

Today, Tom is the Vice President of the Arizona Chapter of MECDA (Middle Eastern Cultural and Dance Association). In his spare time, Tom watchs TV, and DVD's (mostly Sci fi, Comedy, and Educational), solves Sudoku puzzles, attends Belly Dance shows (and video taping the shows when asked to do so) and writes really bad haiku.

Here is an example of my Bad Haiku:

Title: Happiness
what is happiness?
just the absence of sadness?
is it something more?

Well, that's enough about Tom. Join his network of friends and tell him something about yourself.
