Tom found a second home when he joined The Mask & Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania. The Club was already 112 years old when he began writing and performing musical sketch comedy with the historic all-male troupe. Mask and Wig quickly took over Tom's life, culminating with his election to Chairman. Despite his involvement with Mask & Wig, Tom eventually graduated from The Wharton School. Show less «
