Who is Tom Simpson?
Hey there! Here’s a bit of information about Tom Simpson, or me, as I like to call myself!
I was born in Oregon while my parents were in school and then grew up in Salt Lake City. I lived in a few places around there - Midvale, Sandy and Salt Lake City. I have two sisters, Corinne and Sue, and a brother, Dan. In High School I was fascinated with film and made a few fun projects including Randar the Lava Lizard. You can see a couple of my college films, The Evil Toasters From Beyond the Stars online if you’d like.
I served a mission in Portugal and in Cabo Verde (Cape Verde). Living in Africa was amazing, I really enjoyed it.
I came back and went to BYU and studied film again. I moved to New York City to pursue an internship with MTV. There I married Betsy Book and decided to stay in New York City. We later divorced.
I got my first job building web pages at CitySearch, largely based on the work I had done on xenafan.com. From there I moved on to work for Parent Soup and later Agency.com. I left Agency.com in March of 2000 and came to work for Magnani Caruso Dutton as a Senior Site Builder. I’ve been working there ever since.
I’m currently living with my girlfriend Chris in Park Slope. We’ve got two kitties, Moxie & Lady Jane Grey. My cousin Richard Knight lives out in New York City too.
I love taking photographs and plan on going back to school to earn a degree in photography at some point. You can see my photo gallery if you’d like. I’m also addicted to my gameboy advance sp and to TiVo. I currently have 5 computers in my apartment! The digital camera I use is the amazing Canon Digital Rebel (get the firmware hack for the digital rebel here).
