Meet the Manager
Tom D.
Manager
Tom grew up working in the family business at R & D Auto, sweeping floors as a youngster then learning about the cars and how to turn wrenches. His automotive infatuation developed early on as he started driving as soon as he could see over the steering wheel. Along the way he began working directly with clients and assisting with customer service.
A graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Tom used his marketing and mechanical engineering background to work for leaders in the automotive industry, including Bentley Publishers and Porsche of Boston. He has since returned to Bavarian Rocket Science to take on a management role.
When not at the shop, he enjoys representing BRS at various auto club events and on the race track. He truly loves cars and his passion for helping people shines through when you meet him. Always willing to take a moment to answer questions, provide advice or give a helping hand, Tom and the team at R & D look forward to helping you.
