Tom is an ill-regarded hack. His work has not appeared in The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, or The Atlantic. Or Highlights for Children or Adult Video News (AVN). And certainly not in Williams Magazine.
He has received no awards and no accolades, and deservedly so.
He is currently living down to his potential.
