Executive Producer / Creator Born and raised in Toronto (Canada), Tom moved to Vancouver (Canada) in 1984 and began working in the film and entertainment industry. His timing was impeccable in that he had the opportunity to work alongside like-minded individuals who played an integral role in creating a billion dollar+ industry for British Columbia. In 1995, Tom co-founded Rainmaker Digital Pictures Corporation ("Rainmaker"). Prior to this, he was President & CEO of Gastown Post & Transfer, Western Canada's largest independent post-production facility. Gastown, which evolved into Rainmaker, provided a complete range of digital post-production services for national and international film, television, and video producers. Some of the TV projects Tom and his team post-produced include '21 Jump Street,' 'The X-Files,' and 'Millennium.' On the feature film side of the business, Tom had the pleasure of providing services for the movie 'Legends Of The Fall' (Brad Pitt), which won an Academy Award for best cinematography (John Toll) in 1995. Over the past 25 years, Tom has also studied and consulted on the impact of digital technology in business. During that period of time, he introduced the online world to his music creation, "Moments In Time," a curated walk down memory lane. Initially debuting in August 2000, this five-minute feature, written in a style similar to that of the legendary Paul Harvey's 'The Rest Of The Story,' continues to air weekly on the web via 'Treasure Island Oldies.' A selection of these stories about artists and songs from the 50s, 60s, and 70s came out in paperback and e-book formats in the fall of 2021. In February 2024 "Moments In Time" received its 5th award when it was selected as a Book Excellence Award Winner in the Music Category. Out of thousands of books that were entered into the 2024 Book Excellence Awards competition, I am honored that my book was selected for its high quality writing, design and overall market appeal.
