Biography
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Tom Hauck earned his B.A. in History of Art at Tufts University, graduating magna cum laude. Tom then embarked on a fifteen-year career as a rock musician and songwriter, playing guitar with Boston-based bands including the Atlantics and Ball and Pivot.
Tom left the music business in the early 1990s and continued to use his writing skills in non-profit administration and development. He earned his M.B.A. at Endicott College in 2004. After serving with leading North Shore cultural non-profits including the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, Montserrat College of Art, and the North Shore Music Theatre, Tom founded THCS in 2006.
In addition to serving his corporate and non-profit clients, Tom serves as the editor of Renaissance Magazine. He also writes fiction and has completed three novels. The Singer is a coming-of-age novel for young adults about a guitar player in a rock band (no surprise there!). Lucas Manson is a horror thriller about a charismatic multimillionaire evangelist who is the leader of a bloodthirsty hominid spercies. Roses for the Reaper pits Defense Intelligence Agency agent Wesley Stone against the murderous Skull Group, in a plot to get control of the vast newly-discovered oil fields in the impoverished nation of Mali.
Tom lives with his wife Kim Smith, a garden book author, in a house overlooking historic Gloucester Harbor. Tom and Kim have two children.
“My business partners appreciate my depth of experience,” says Tom. “They know I can get to the essence of the challenge quickly. Every new assignment is an opportunity to make a difference to the bottom line. That’s what THCS is all about.”
“My goal with THCS is to make life easier for busy professionals,” says Tom. “For most people, their core business isn’t writing. It’s web design, or banking, or HVAC installation. Busy professionals need to have their great ideas communicated clearly and effectively to the marketplace. That’s what I do.”
