SNIP Collier Board of Directors

Tom founded SNIP Collier in 2013 after understanding the need for low-cost and improved spay/neuter services in Collier County. Tom is the heart and soul of this organization. EVERY day he is in the field rescuing both dogs and cats, educating pet owners, and working with our county to create better laws and enforcement for the sake of these animals.  With over 20 years of experience in the Collier County rescue community, Tom understands the problems and believes SNIP's efforts truly can be the solution.  

To report an injured or stray dog or cat, please contact Tom at 239-825-5834.

Tom joined SNIP in 2019 and serves as our Treasurer and also as our Director of Accounting & Finance.  He is a Certified Management Accountant and IRS Enrolled Agent and works for a tax and accounting firm here in Naples.  Tom has been a resident of Collier County since 2002 and has managed several businesses during that time, either as a controller or operations manager.  He is responsible for the daily accounting operations of the organization and handles many of the general administrative and compliance responsibilities.
