Tom joined the EMAP team in May 2007 as an Energy Consultant. Prior to joining the SBDC full-time, Tom worked closely with the Energy Projects Coordinator as a part-time energy efficiency intern from June 2005 to May 2007 assisting consultants with energy efficiency projects for their clients. 

Presently, he works with small business owners, as well as other environmental consultants, throughout Pennsylvania assisting with energy efficiency and pollution prevention audits, grant writing, and general energy efficiency questions.
