Born in Sydney with Dutch roots, Tom has spent much of his life between Australia and Europe. Scouted at just 15 while waiting at a train station in his school uniform, modelling became an unexpected part of growing up – taking him around the world, introducing him to new cultures and even teaching him German along the way.
After studying Business, Tom built a career beyond modelling and now works in product development within the cosmetics industry. Recently back in Sydney with his wife and daughter, he's happiest surrounded by family and friends, staying active, sharing great food or spending a day by the ocean. Whether it's tennis, golf or a swim at the beach, Tom's approach to life is relaxed, social and distinctly Australian.
