Prior to joining Laramie, Tom spent over twenty years as a company and consulting landman representing numerous operators throughout the Rockies and the Midwest.

Having also been a rancher from 1995 - 2005, Tom knows firsthand the challenges of coordinating surface operations with the concerns of farmers and ranchers in the conservation of their agricultural heritage.
