Background Information
Tommy grew up in Ohio City, Ohio, his entire life before moving to Los Santos. He came from a broken home surrounded by financial struggle, members of his family struggling from drug and alcohol abuse, and just typical Rural-Mid-Western Struggles. His cousin, Aaron Melarky, moved in with him and his family after at the age of 12 after Aaron's father was sent to Life in Prison after allegedly murdering his mother. Tommy's father welcomed him with open arms and raised Tommy and Aaron as his sons.

Both were raised in "car culture," building kit cars as a family and racing them at the local Ohio City Racetrack. When Aaron and Tommy became young adults, Aaron began running with the wrong crowd at Ohio High School, and fell into a life of petty crime and street racing. For this, Tommy's father kicked him out of the house at 18 and Aaron hitchhiked his way to Los Santos.

Years later, when Tommy had quit college early to take some time to think on himself, and his family urged him to find Aaron. Tommy looking for a new view of the world, agreed, and booked a one way ticket to Los Santos to attempt to find Aaron and bring him back. After a week of searching, Tommy was informed of Aaron's death. After some time spent on the peak of Mount Chiliad, Tommy thought on his place in the world, and what he wanted out of it, and decided to continue his new life and journey as a resident of Los Santos.

While looking for work, Tommy was able to be hired at Bean Machine at Dean's World and the Farmers Market. Soon after, Tommy saw an ad on Twatter that the EMS was hiring, and met Maeve O'Malley whom promptly gave him an interest form. After passing his interview, he was hired on as a Trainee, and began his new career.
