With the money he earned, Tom purchased a hoverboard, which otherwise would have been out of his financial reach.

At age twelve, disaster struck when his father, Jonathan contracted a rare and untreatable brain disease. Jonathan died later that year.

At age fourteen, Martha Jackson, remarried, this time to a Ferengi business man named Pez. At first the two did not get along, but eventually their relationship blossomed and Pez adopted young Thomas.

His primary areas of study was logistics. He served aboard that vessel under contract for two years as an Operations Technician.
