Perhaps, his greatest coaching accomplishments at Jersey City were that he coached back to back National Intercollegiate Championships in Women's Fencing (1942-1943). These titles must certainly be considered among the most significant in Jersey City State history. As director of athletics, from 1958-1977, he developed a comprehensive intercollegiate athletic program for men and women. He served as the college’s first coach in cross country, track and field, and soccer. His 1964 his cross country team won a N.J.S.C.A.C. title. Today, Tom is enjoying a life of leisurely retirement in New Jersey and Maine with his wife and family. He serves as Jersey City State’s official “Good Will Ambassador” at Shore Area high schools.
