Tom’s strong penchant for meeting deadlines was a contributing factor to hiring him as BMA’s Communications / Project Manager. He works with all departments at BMA editing and producing content and ensuring projects are done on time. He also was instrumental in BMA’s effort in May 2013 to take over operations and fully redesign the monthly labor trades’ publication, The Labor Citizen. In its first year the publication increased circulation and gained a reputation as the premier print publication addressing issues important to the labor trades in Ohio. When not devoting energy to The Labor Citizen, Tom is creating and editing content for the multitude of other projects BMA Media handles for its union clients. The written work includes website content, blog posts, press releases, video scripts, newsletters, speeches, radio and television commercials and assorted social media material. **College**: Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, Masters (Print Journalism) **College**: Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, BS (Print Journalism) **High School**: Bay High School **Local Union**: SDAT Local 639/ IUPAT DC6 ![](https://www.labortools.com/hubfs/Labor%20Tools%20Eighteen/_assets/logos/labor-tools-logo-wh.svg "labor-tools-logo-wh.svg") **Powered by** [![](https://www.labortools.com/hubfs/LaborTools%20Eighteen/_assets/logos/bma-logos/bma-logo-new-full-color.svg)](http://www.bmamedia.com) #### LaborTools Calendar --- - April Labor Citizen — Apr 12, 2023 - IBEW International President Lonnie Stephenson's Retirement Celebration — Apr 18, 2023 - IBEW Construction & Maintenance Conference — Apr 18, 2023 - NABTU Legislative Conference — Apr 22, 2023 - IBEW Local 573 Anniversary — Apr 28, 2023 - May Labor Citizen — May 10, 2023 - IBEW 9th District John O'Rourke Retirement Celebration — May 31, 2023 #### BMA Media Group is a Union Building Trades Contractor, signatory with IBEW Local 673 and IUPAT DC 6/SDAT Local 639.
