Hi, I’m Tom Gregory.

In 2007, I quit my job as Director of Software Development for Proton Communications, a learning management company in Utah, to go back to school for an MBA. At Proton, I was lead developer and project manager, and built a product that led to the company’s first profitable quarter. As an internet developer, I emphasize usability, and adhere to web and accessibility standards.

I previously worked for a major internet retailer as a business analyst and project manager for the media sales division, as a contract web developer for local businesses, and as supervisor for a technical support office serving several thousand customers at a private university. I have a bachelor’s degree in computer science, and have contributed to the open source Javascript library script.aculo.us.

As an elected member of the Utah State Board of Education (USBE), I serve as vice-chair for the Law & Policy Committee. Responsibilities with the Board include a seat on the committee charged with implementing the Public Education Job Enhancement Program which provides financial incentives for educators in hard to staff subject areas. As a member of the USBE, I’m also a member of the Utah School Boards Association and the National Association of State Boards of Education.

In the past, I’ve volunteered as a contributing editor for UtahPolitics.org during the 2004 gubernatorial election, have worked a substitute teacher, and still spend free weekends as a soccer referee, a job I first began in 1992.
