After rolling like a bad penny across a wide range of industries for 15 years, Tom landed at East Coast Metrology (ECM), where he has spent nearly 20 fruitful years laboring to bestow the blessings of dimensional metrology on clients at a global level.
As a Principal Engineer at ECM, Tom draws on his experience of going places and measuring things, to realize special projects, quote new jobs, and train the next generation of dimensional metrologists.
In the Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), Tom is interested in everything technical. It is a fascinating industry. More usefully, he has been focused on Certification, first as a trainer and test proctor, then as a member of the committee, and finally as Chair of the Committee.
Tom is a co-author, with Gary Confalone and John Smits, of the recently published 3D Scanning for Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Construction. The book provides an overview of scanning and its uses, from arm-mounted laser line probes to long-range spherical scanners used in architecture and facilities management. He hitched his wagon to the right team of industry experts and they dragged him across the finish line.
