Tom started playing disc golf for recreation in 1977. He joined the Professional Disc Golf Association in 1983 when he decided to pursue playing professionally and take the sport more seriously. Through the years of playing, he noticed that there were kids playing disc golf but only a few stuck with it. In 2003 he had the idea to start a scholarship fund that would encourage more children to play and have an opportunity to further their education and in 2004 he started the Junior Disc Golf Foundation in order to give some kids a chance to attend college and play the great sport of Disc Golf.
