Throughout Tom's 40 plus years in business, from a consumer electronics sales and marketing executive, to founding several innovative companies in the gaming and digital media areas, and as a Senior VP and Division General Manager at Electronics Arts for the last 10 years, Tom has always been interested in motivating and mentoring young people. This special trait and his business acumen initially attracted him to us in 2007 as one of the founding faculty at the MDM. His Faculty role at both MDM and the USC School of Cinematic Arts has enabled him to have a profound impact on the lives of more than 200 students over the last four years. His Business and Management of Interactive Digital Media course attached to our Foundations of Digital Media Section is a Cohort favorite here at GNWC.
