Our Team

Angela got a degree in computer science from Arizona State University and led a software engineering team in the “Valley of the Sun” before returning to her native Michigan to raise a family and join Tome.  She’s happy engineering solutions that improve health, support mobility and bring people together.

Tom spent 20 years at Sun Microsystems, where he co-founded the Java Factory, before he started developing iPhone apps on his own. He later led the development team for mobile and cloud-based software at Valassis before he joined Tome’s team in 2014.

Rich got his start in tech working in radio. He joined NPR as a sound engineer after Ohio University, explored broadcast systems and automation, and eventually entered the lab with a small team researching broadcast technology. Fortune dealt him a fresh start and new research challenges at Tome. A private pilot, Rich lives outside Washington, DC and loves traveling to the faraway places he once visited by shortwave radio.

Nick studied computer engineering at Michigan, joined the workforce and quickly learned that the big-company tech thing wasn’t for him. He sought migration to a startup and landed at Tome doing iOS and Android development for ambitious Internet of Things projects.

Tony got into computer programming to make games but music is what drives him now. He interned at Livio and later left for the Tome nest, where his ability to take tech from zero to something real with the quickness makes him a valuable team player.

Ben fell in love with computers in high school and eventually became the lead programmer on the robotics team. He later left the family nest to study computer science at the University of Michigan. Ben knew that he wanted to work in software development when he graduated but wasn’t sure where until he found Tome and was inspired by the forward-thinking vibe.

Mark grew up with computer games: playing, modding and eventually hosting. The experience sent him down a path of  exploration into tech’s nitty-gritty and advanced details. He studied computers at the University of Vermont, and later at Michigan Tech. The Hacker Fellows program channeled him toward Tome, where he currently works on the Advanced Projects Team. Off the clock, he enjoys sci-fi and mountain biking.

Scott is like a sponge absorbing a sea of tech wizardry at Tome. The software engineer co-op from Kettering University is working toward a computer science degree and getting the hands-on experience that will take it all to the next level. He enjoys fixing tech bugs and knowing it makes a difference. When he’s not at work or in class, it’s a steady diet of Monty Python, video games and chess.

Battling your older brother for playing time on a game console has its benefits. For Jason, it channeled him toward the computer desk. His programming path through Kettering University eventually led to Tome, where he’s not  “just another drop in a lake” and likes seeing his code at work in a finished product.  A Venturing Scout with a love for the outdoors, Jason was a high school drum major and loves music.

Conner started tinkering with robots in high school and eventually became the go-to programmer for his robotics team. That role inspired Conner’s college path and his noble quest to leverage artificial intelligence for practical usefulness in the workforce. When he’s not studying runes at Kettering University or working on Android development at Tome, you’ll find him gaming in the “League of Legends” realm or handcrafting chain mail armor in the real world.

A stalwart of the Tome team, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂ provides additional support to fuel our bits of creativity and brainstorming. Seen at all hours of the day, in meetings, and by the side of several workstations, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂ is an indispensable part of the Tome crew.

Blessed with intuition and wise beyond his years, Tome makes decisions based on solid foundations. As a spirit guide, he continually is on the cutting edge, exploring the unknown and leading the charge into exciting areas of innovation.
