Clients become a part of the BWM family. Their concerns become ours and every facet of the service we provide them is meant to exceed their expectations. We become raving fans in each other’s lives! On the weekends, Tom enjoys spending time with his children, biking, kayaking and working around his new house. Dedicated to the training of Martial Arts, Tom has found his true passion in Jiu-Jitsu.
