Tom began his calibration profession in the US Navy. After serving for eight years, he left the Navy but was still determining what he wanted to do career-wise. Having always liked mechanics, he got a job as a mechanic at a truck stop. He later joined Trescal in our Charlotte laboratory as a Calibration Technician II when mechanics turned out to be more of a hobby than a career.

He was directly involved in the implementation of Charlotte’s new automated primary pressure standard, which allowed the lab to provide higher accuracy calibrations and decrease turnaround time for all of our customers.

He enjoys working in a dynamic environment, where there are opportunities to acquire diverse skills and knowledge. In addition, working with his colleagues has been a valuable experience that has exceeded his expectations. A long day or a heavy workload didn’t matter then, and doesn’t matter now.
