Thomas Bender (Writer & Contributing Editor) Tom has diverse interests ranging from woodworking to video games. He is a lover of hammocks and the sound of the ocean, and is still impressed by thunderstorms and airplanes. A ravenous consumption of music has inspired Tom's collection of speakers and headphones, which are meticulously cared for. A traveler for both business and pleasure, Tom has spent time in many exotic locations around the world, and almost as much time in many mediocre airports. You can often find him curled up with a good book, a new album, or an adventurous video game (though rarely all three at the same time).
