Tom co-founded the Nutrition Business Journal (NBJ) in 1996, the business journal of record for the nutrition industry. Through this, he was an integral part of creating many industry-leading reports that helped shape the nutrition industry. Tom now serves as Chairman of the Editorial Advisory Board for NBJ. He is also the Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the annual NBJ Summit, a premier CEO/executive retreat for the nutrition and natural products industry, now in its twenty-first year.

From 1998 to 2001, he was a founding partner of Health Business Partners, an investment banking and consulting firm serving the natural products industry. In 2002, Tom worked with New Hope Network as they continued to help grow healthy markets in the industry.

Tom also currently serves as Co-Founder and CEO of Smart Family Nutrition, which began after the birth of his son, Dylan, in 2013. Dylan was born premature and was unable to be breastfed. As he continued to grow (and thrive!) on formula, Tom knew that Dylan would need a high quality DHA and probiotic supplements once he was weaned onto solid foods. After extensive research, Tom found the key to optimal children’s nutrition, and Smart Family Nutrition was realized.
