Tom Egan :: Resident Mac Genius
With his insatiable curiosity, Tom was obviously destined for a career in science. During an internship at Los Alamos during college and later while working for ASTM he found that science was far less thrilling than he had hoped. Broken computers, buggy software, and endless IT delays kept him from unraveling the secrets of the universe. Not to be deterred he learned to fix his own computer and write fixes for his software. It was when his coworkers discovered he could configure their email however that he discovered his calling: fixing Macs. Today, Tom still dabbles with science working on something he calls "computational instruction efficiency" and on a more practical level applying his chemistry knowledge to the science of baking. Tom grew up in Hershey PA, earned a BS in Physics from Bucknell University, and now calls Lewisburg, PA his home.
