Education & Family
Tom Farrell was born and raised in Mentor, Ohio just east of Cleveland. He graduated

from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering.

After graduation he stayed in Dayton to take a job with Harris Graphics as a service

engineer. Tom then attended a company-sponsored graduate program at the Harris

University of Florida and graduated from their School of Business Administration.

When Tom left Harris he took a job at Pioneer Standard Electronic in Dayton where he

worked for nine years and was a regional sales manager there before starting a new

computer business in West Chester in 1992.

Tom met his wife Kim in the spring of 1989 in Dayton and they were married on August

25, 1990. Tom and Kim are proud parents of three children, Chelsea, Brady and Kyle. Family is everything to the Farrells and any one of them will tell you that family always comes first. Tradition is also very important to the Farrells. Growing up with parents who stressed the foundation of family values and community involvement, it is apparent that those values and community involvement have been carried on by Tom and his family.
