Tom graduated high school in 1959 from Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida. He left Florida to attend LeTourneau University, Longview, Texas, where, in 1965, he earned a BS in Industrial Engineering and helped organize and start the first rodeo in the school's history, which is still ongoing today.
