Tommy also co-written and directed his first full-length feature film titled 30 NIGHTS, available for streaming on Tubi. Tommy has also spent over two decades as a Head Mentor for the Young Storytellers creative writing and literacy program for children. Tommy lives in Sherman Oaks, California with his better half, Foster.

Foster aka Puppy King Foster aka He Who Rules Over Everywhere The Sun May Touch was found running around on July 4th, 2015 and has remained a free spirit ever since. After allowing himself to be adopted, he now enjoys parks, leaves, squirrels and howling at fire engines. Due to his intense hatred for skateboards, it is presumed he was working undercover infiltrating a skateboard-related crime syndicate and lost a lot of good boys during the operation. Foster lives in Sherman Oaks, California with his worse half, Tommy.
