Here’s what some of my clients have had to say about me:
Tom will, without a shadow of a doubt, be an asset to your organization.
He’s independent, driven, focused and able to get results.
Best Practice Group provides a unique service to help its clients gain maximum value from their working relationships with strategic partners, such as outsourcing and technology vendors. We were looking for someone to help us develop a blogging strategy around improving strategic vendor performance and contract management, in addition to assisting in the development of the blog copy itself.
When we contacted Tom, we found that he was highly driven, able to grasp complex issues and communicate those issues in a simple manner. Our experience of working with Tom has been and continues to be highly positive. Always inquisitive, he keeps our thinking and our focus clear and is able to turn around material in an accelerated time frame to help us keep to our publishing schedules.

Tom has been the man responsible for managing, producing, and growing ManageWP’s blog on a daily basis. Even though the demands on his time are great, the content has always and continually been exceptional, along with always being produced in a timely manner. Tom also takes initiative to contribute in other ways that benefit our company, which is very much appreciated.
Most importantly, Tom has a forward-thinking and fun personality that encompasses an exceptional work ethic. We can’t recommend Tom enough!
James Mowery — ManageWP
I found Tom through his awesome blog and instantly became a fan of his writing. So when I found out that he freelances, I instantly hired him to write for My Wife Quit Her Job.
Tom is an awesome writer and is responsible and easy to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend him, especially if you’re looking for killer content.
