It all started years ago when he saw the show The Universe on the History Channel, and the rest is history. Tom is more of a physicist than an astronomer. He is interested in the experimental side of physics as well as building things. He hopes to make a career out of the new and aspiring field of Nanotechnology, for that is where his true passion lies. He is currently doing work with Grant Wilson in the Astronomy department. Tom is working with AzTEC, the camera to the Large Millimeter Telescope. Astronomy and Astrophysics are important to him because he likes to remember how he got into all of this in the first place. It's vital to recall your roots and where you come from, or you forget who you are. Also, in order to understand the really small, you need to understand the really big! The Orchard Hill Observatory is greatful for all the help and support from countless members of the Five College Astronomy Club, especially Marie Calapa and Nikita Gubanov.
