Since getting his feet wet on the yearbook staff in high school, Tom's photography career has taken him around the world several times over.  A seven-year photojournalism run was crowned with a Pulitzer nomination. Tom launched into the freelance world a rapidly growing client base prompted him to open a commercial photo lab to support his work and that of his colleagues. A rapidly growing client base prompted him to open a commercial photo lab to support his work and that of his colleagues. Tom's early adoption of digital photography provided the catalyst for the lab's evolution into an authority on the art and science of digital imaging. Encouraged by clients to expand his services, Spitfire entered the world of digital video production in 2000, and that decision opened the door for an alliance with Tripp Rhame, steering the company into broadcast production. Together they have built a company like no other in the Southeast, providing complete production support for agencies and creative groups the world over. Tom continues to shoot for a host of regional and national clients, as well as lending technical and creative support to the broadcast side of the house. He still has a lot of worlds to conquer and remains a pioneer in the rapidly evolving world of digital story telling.
