“Tom was the best professor I had during my first year. Despite my background being far from accounting, I never thought I could learn so much in an accounting class. His passion for teaching and his engaging personality made the classes both interesting and easy to understand. I am forever grateful for Tom's teachings and his support throughout my learning process.” Maria Villegas, MBA 2025
There is a reason why Tom received both the SMP and MBA Reid Teaching award in Spring 2024, his students adore him! Get to know Tom outside of Olin, pictured above with his wife Susan (Olin 91) in Arches National Park, Utah.
