Tom Boward grew up in Columbia Maryland. At the age of 18 he joined the Army as a tank mechanic where he served in the Infantry, Armor, and Cavalry in Germany and Ft. Knox, Kentucky.  He rose through the ranks quickly in his four years of service earning  the rank of Sergeant by the age of 21.  

Upon leaving the Army, Tom worked a variety of jobs while attending college – renovator, carpenter, house painter, and eventually retail sales.  Tom met his wife Kristine in Minnesota when she was completing her doctorate in Psychology and he was working for a defense contractor as a database programmer. An opportunity to move back to the east coast presented itself when Kris took a job at Villanova University in 2001.They now manage a psychology practice with 34 employees which has given Tom a deep appreciation for the needs of small business owners in communities such as Lower Providence.

Tom and Kris settled in Audubon in 2007 to raise their two children, Aleah and Zander who are now in the 7th and 9th grade. Avid gardeners, the Boward family enjoys spending time outdoors tending to their chickens, working in their garden, pursuing creative carpentry projects, and exploring hiking and nature areas.  They are grateful to live in a community with the open space, trails, and parks that Lower Providence has to offer its residents.  

Tom’s experience in the Army taught him how to face a challenge head on. His career in data analytics gives him the tools to find thoughtful and creative solutions.  A jack-of-all-trades, Tom can be counted on to think through all aspects of a problem.  He is able to see multiple sides of an issue and has a leadership style that is both flexible and decisive.  His data analytics skills allow him to assess a problem for opportunities. Always growing, he is currently enrolled in  Harvard Business School completing a certificate in Business Data Analytics.
