Born in Salinas, CA Tommy began flying at age 18 and started Competition Aerobatics in 2005. Tommy aquired his A&P license in 2006 after attending Gavilan Collage in Hollister, CA .

His love for aerobatics came the realization that aerobatic planes take a major beating and require a lot of preventive maintenance and care to keep the plane operating in a safe and reliable manner. When it comes to aerobatic planes, Tommy's theme is, "If it ain't broke yet, it probably will be soon" 

Tommy has recently received a "Once in a Lifetime" opportunity to fly as one of the "Stars of Tomorrow" and will need to devote his full time and attention towards that goal. With that in mind Tommy has had to resign from the team to focus all of his energies on that goal.
