After high school graduation, Tom was hired at the same steel mill his father worked in and was drafted into the U.S. Army in late 1968 after marrying his first wife, Patricia. During the 30 years Tom worked at National Steel as a crane operator, electrician and union activist, he earned a Bachelor's degree from Wayne State University and a Master's degree from Central Michigan University doing evening and weekend classes while raising three children, Christopher Jeannie and Justin. Patricia and Tom divorced in 1984. In 2004, he married JoAn Joseph at a beach restaurant in Malibu and they had a daughter, Elisabeth in 2006.
