About Me

Tom Brandt

I am a retired software engineer living in Dearborn, MI. I’ve had various titles during my career, including computer programmer, systems analyst, software developer, software engineer, team lead, engineering manager, VP Development. My last position before retiring was as a senior software engineer for Trice Imaging.

Travel is something I enjoy immensely. I have traveled extensively throughout the US and Canada, and have visited England, Wales, Scotland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Portugal. Prague, Barcelona, Edinburgh, and Stockholm are particular favorite European cities of mine.

Music keeps me sane. I have been singing in choirs almost all of my life, mostly church and community choirs, but a few times as a paid singer in a couple of professional ensembles. I have had the privilege of performing, among many other things, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Mass in B-Minor by JS Bach, and Maurice Duruflè’s setting of the Requiem Mass.

Other interests include reading, woodworking, cooking, baking, and the art of the craft cocktail. My current reading interests include mystery (Louise Penney and Reginald Hill are current favorites), and speculative fiction (JRR Tolkien, NK Jemison).

I am an ordained elder and deacon in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and an active member of the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor.
