Tom was born on November 3, 1961 in Kalamazoo, MI to Dennis and Sandra Wallace. He graduated from Plainwell High School in 1980 and later from Aims Community College in Greeley, CO. He married Joan in 2001, after "reuniting" at their 20-year class reunion. Tom most recently started a lawn mowing and snow plowing business, West Michigan Lawn Enforcement.
