Tom graduated from Piper City High School in 1973.  He earned success in his career through entrepreneurship.  He began this journey with an electrical company called Tschosik Electric.  He realized an opportunity in agriculture electronics and was able to maintain his own business his whole life.  He created, sold, maintained and installed feed systems all over our country and throughout the world.  In 2009 he expanded this further with a company called TSW Automation; they created Batchnet. An app-controlled feed system that was top of the line and a true innovation in the agriculture industry.  Tom made and maintained many lifelong friendships through his work.  Many of his business partners and customers became his lifelong friends.

He was a dedicated lifelong Chicago Cubs fan. Practicing, playing, teaching and watching his grandson, Seth, play baseball was one of his favorite past times. Being a Grandpa and Father was the greatest joy of his life.

He had a passion for restoring old homes and bringing vintage items back to life.  He saw the beauty in the history of antiques and was working to restore his current home.

Tom was a man who loved a good conversation and had a keen sense of humor.   He placed a great value in true friendships.  He was fortunate in finding and keeping many loyal friends that became his family. He taught his daughters the value of believing in themselves and to live in truth.  He was always available to his daughters and their families, providing a tremendous sense of support and love in their lives.
