ABOUT
As a corporate restaurant manger working 55+ hours a week Tom felt he had no control over his time or income. And with a young family of four and bills to pay he could never fully commit to his entrepreneurial dream. Then eight months after relocating to Maui in 2010 he was fired from his management job. Tom decided he’d had enough and went all-in on creating the life he wanted. Today he’s part of a successful 7-figure agency in Hawaii, as well as, cofounder of Offline Sharks and Remote Millionaires where he helps entrepreneurs build businesses that allow them to live their lives instead of being chained to work.

The move to Maui — And fired from Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
- Shortly after moving my wife and two daughters to our beautiful new home on Maui, I found out I was being laid off from my restaurant management job.
- Little did I know this would be a blessing in disguise. With all my family’s income dried up, it was time to finally realize my l lifetime dream of becoming an entrepreneur.
I land my first 11 clients and make $7,000 in a week!
- After struggling for almost two years, I finally stumbled upon a strategy that worked. Which helped me land 14 clients and make $7,000 in revenue in a single week!
Agency hits $10k a month
- A few years in and things really start ticking. And I finally am making enough to stop worrying about bills and start focusing on scaling.
Release my first course helping others get clients
- After a lot of thought, in 2015 I released a course revealing my secrets for getting clients. Which sparked a whole new revenue stream for me and led to meeting my business partner.
Team up with Nick and start Offline Sharks
- Then in 2016, I teamed up with my business partner Nick Ponte. And together we formed the Offline Sharks.
The Great Agency Merge of 2019
- With a great partnership in place, Nick and I decided to merge our agencies. This allowed us to focus more on what we were good at and what we loved to do.
Our agency hits $500k a year
- Now we’re talking! A far cry from $10k a month just a few year prior… our first half-a-million year brought with it many things.
- For example, this year marked our nomination for Hawaii Business Leader of the Year as well as the year we won the ClickFunnels Two Comma Club Award.
Launching Remote Millionaires
- Finally, our greatest idea ever is born! In 2022, we created the best coaching, mentorship, and mastermind group on the planet.
- Remote Millionaires is a place we can share EVERYTHING that makes our agency tick. It was finally time to pull back the curtain on every step of the process for serious entrepreneurs.
Our agency crosses $1 million in annual revenue
- After setting this as a big goal for ourselves, in 2023 we finally hit the fabled 7-figure a year mark.
Now, we’ll continue to grow with our eyes on doubling that revenue in the next few years.
