7 Random Facts About Director Tom

I've been tagged by Kathryn R over at Pogo Design to share seven random/weird facts about me... here goes :-)

1. I was very close to becoming a monk in 1980; either a Benedictine or Hindu monk. That never came to be.

2. I started playing guitar in first grade and played professionally in rock n roll bands since 7th grade. I quit playing in 1990 to focus on filmmaking and my family.

3. I love The Beatles. They changed my life in so many ways, like having music be a central force in my life.

4. I was raised Catholic but when people ask what I practice, I'm prone to say Hindu-Christian or interspirituality.

5. I've met a lot of rock n roll stars. The most unusual one was bumping int Todd Rundgren at Chicago O'Hare airport. I just saw the Ringo Starr All Star Band a month earlier with Todd performing. Todd was coming back from the European tour so we had breakfast together and we shared a few great moments together.

6. I also bumped into Cheap Trick at O'Hare. All four members just came into the gate seating area and sat right next to me. I struck up a great conversation with Rick Neilsen, the guitarist, about filmmaking and the band's plans for the future.

7. I chant and enjoy singing bhajans, Hindu devotional songs.
