He has operated the electrical distribution system on nuclear submarines, negotiated multi-million dollar contracts with US and foreign firms, and now he sells liquor at a state package store.

Tom and his wife of over 45 years currently live in Williamsburg, Virginia, in a small apartment attached to their daughter and son-in-law's home.
