 Since successfully completing his first company turnaround in 1987, Tom has helped dozens of companies identify balance sheet solutions to cut costs and improve profitability. Tom brings a cross-functional perspective to business restructuring, with notable strengths in marketing, corporate strategy, real estate, and financial analysis.

Tom started his career with positions at McKinsey & Company and Procter & Gamble. He first gained experience in real estate as CEO of Ivy Medical Group, where he oversaw the acquisition of property and the construction of emergency medical care centers. Tom further developed his real estate expertise as CEO of Chartwell Holdings, where he played a leading role in the acquisition and entitlement of more than 30 residential and commercial land development projects in Northern California. In 1994, he teamed with Steve Huntley and Dave Spargo to create HMS, where he and his partners have become nationally recognized real estate and financial restructuring experts.
"It's our tenacity. We get in there and get the job done, and never let go till we have what we need. You must prove to creditors exactly how they benefit under the new plan and how the future will be better than the past. Fail in this, and they will simply do nothing. In troubled situations, we make it clear to creditors that the status quo is not acceptable-we will fix it, sell it, or liquidate it. Doing nothing is not an option."
