Tom now serves as a Partner and Chief Creative Officer of Gameplan Creative. He oversees the creative mission and direction of the brand agency supervising a staff of full-time visual branding designers and video animation experts. In the early 1990’s, Tom’s elevated sports teams brand value by treating each team’s brand identity in a strategic visual identity approach. This paradigm shift changed how leagues and teams view their own sports design identity processes.

This brand personality approach has been has become a best practice in the sports entertainment industry.
