Tom's life ambition is to improve the lives of American wizarding kind. This is the legacy he wants to leave on the world.

He attended Salem Witches Institute where he became interested in politics. One summer he met Cassandra Morrow who was part of a program for under-privilaged students interested in Healing. They had a summertime fling and then lost touch.
After Salem, he was taken on as a legal apprentice, and from there on pursued positions in the magical government. He moved through several departments, working for different administrators until he landed in the Federal Bureau of Covert Vigilance, where he would spend the rest of his career.
He got married in 1989 and he and his wife soon had two children, twins: Ava and Justin.
In 1992, he was travelling a great deal and on an extended assignment in Kansas City, he rekindled a romance with Cassandra Morrow, who was also married at the time. The affair lasted two years. In 1994, Cassandra became pregnant. She broke things off with Thomas and never told him he had a daughter, Natalie.
