Your Bio

My name is Tom Ames. I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I have been working at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company since 2001. Before that, I was an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at The University of Texas at Austin. I decided to earn my BSEE after my 6-year stint as a CTM in the US Navy from 1989-1995. I was enlisted then, but I was commissioned in July of 2004 and am serving in the Navy Reserve.

I earned a MS in engineering management at Southern Methodist University and graduated in December of 2009. When I'm not working, studying, or being a sailor, I like to meet my friends in the Fort Worth Texas Exes (UT Austin alumni association) for happy hours or game watching. I also enjoy travel when I have enough money and vacation saved up. My favorite musical groups are U2, Dave Mathews Band, Seal, Tool, Robert Earl Keen, Dwight Yoakam, and most everyone in between those genres.

I have a profile set up at Facebook if you'd like to read more about me there. The photos posted in my galleries are from all collected memories of my personal, professional, and military endeavors. I hope you enjoy looking through them. If you like the smugmug site, you can start one of your own and get $5 off the already low price if you use my coupon code: h1l3ef8HgQA8w.

Marfa TX & White Ranch (13-16 Jul 2006) : My room mate Andrea and I went to Marfa, TX to meet a new friend of ours, Rapheal, at her famliy's home. We spent the first night in Marfa getting to know the group of friends. Friday we had a leisurely day of touring, shopping and eating in Marfa and Alpine. We had dinner at the Gage Hotel in Alpine. I had a fabulous, succulent tenderloin. We capped off the evening by having a few drinks at "The Blues" in Alpine. Saturday we went down to the White Ranch http://www.whiteranches.com/ to ride dune buggies, eat lunch at the outpost bunkhouse and hike to the tallest waterfall in Texas. When we returned to the house, Jim III and Karen had prepared a feast of fajitas for 20 people! To work off our energy we got out the guns and shot at targets and an unfortunate jackrabbit. All in all it was a fabulous weekend of good people, spectacular views and relaxation that I won't soon forget.

I was "only going to stay for a couple hours" but they had to drag me out after gates closed at midnight. All the better. I had to get back to Fort Worth and study for my midterm paper with my SMU team mates.

TOOL Concert - Dallas 14 Sep 2006 : I had two tickets and took my friend Lareese Pike. TOOL took the stage at AMerican Airlines Center in Dallas and rocked the house for a couple hours. Maynard had apparently not been feeling well, but I couldn't tell from his performance. He drank so much water during the show that he barely made it through the encore to go relieve himself. He subtituted the chorus for Aenima with "got to piss" rather than "learn to swim". (I thought that was rather witty and creative, especially considering he was probably in great discomfort.) I hate having to take a piss but not being able to. I almost caught one of Danny's sticks after the show, but it wasn't meant to be. I did holler at him over the railing as he left the stage though and he looked right at me and waved.

Bono Speaks Live in Dallas (5 May 2006) : The World Affairs Council, of Dallas/Fort Worth presented Bono, lead singer of Irish Rock Band U2, activist and co-founder of DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa), on Friday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Music Hall at Fair Park. This TIME Magazine Person of the Year in 2005 has used his celebrity worldwide to influence the powerful to the benefit of the poor. Bono will speak on his work to bring attention and resources to the fight against global AIDS and poverty in Africa. In 2002, Bono co-founded DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) to raise public awareness of these issues and put pressure on wealthy governments to increase the quantity and quality of development resources for Africa while improving policies which impact African countries. Additionally, DATA works with African leaders to improve democracy, accountability and transparency to ensure aid is spent wisely. From his participation in Live Aid and subsequent trip to Ethiopia in 1984 to last summer¹s Live 8 concerts, Bono has been an ardent supporter of Africa. In 1998, he became a spokesperson for the international Jubilee 2000 'Drop the Debt' movement where his involvement drew public attention to the debt burden in the poorest countries and his intensive lobbying of politicians helped leverage a promise from wealthy nations to cancel $100 billion worth of poor countries' debt. Recently, Bono and DATA helped launch the ONE campaign in America. To date, nearly two million Americans have joined this campaign to make poverty history. ONE played a pivotal role in raising American voices in 2005 to secure promises of near universal access to life-saving AIDS medicines, debt cancellation for 18 of the world¹s poorest countries, and a doubling of aid for Africa by 2010. The New York Times cited Bono¹s work as one of the reasons why President Bush promised to increase U.S. aid by nearly $30 billion over five years, including a major new initiative to fight AIDS in Africa. In 2004, this promise resulted in the largest increase in U.S. foreign assistance in 40 years. U2 has received extensive recognition for their music including 22 Grammy Awards. Bono has appeared on the covers of TIME Magazine (three times), Newsweek, Vogue and Rolling Stone (twelve times). Proceeds from Bono Speaks Live benefit the nonpartisan, non-profit World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth and its International Education Initiative, a program that offers a wealth of world-affairs knowledge and understanding to tens of thousands of North Texas students each year.
