Tom Smallwood is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on November 4, 1977 in Flushing, New York, United States.
Tom had been an excellent bowler in classic leagues in and around Saginaw, and supplemented his income by competing in local tournaments and a few open PBA events. He qualified for his PBA Tour card in 2003–04 because he did well in PBA Regional Tour events. However, he did not handle the pressure well in his first try on the national PBA Tour, missing the cut in 19 of 20 events. He finished 53rd on the Tour points list and did not make the next season’s all-exempt Tour.
Smallwood then found a job at a metal shop as his then-girlfriend (now wife) Jennifer would not marry a man without a regular paycheck. He then got a job at General Motors’ Pontiac East Assembly Plant in the Spring of 2008 only to get laid off two days before Christmas. Tom, then married and with one child, agreed to look for a new job for two months before attempting to get back into the PBA Tour. Smallwood practiced for free at State Lanes in Saginaw after job applications did not pan out, having been a regular league bowler there and being neighbors of the owners, Anne and Steve Doyle.
Thomas Smallwood (born November 4, 1977) is a professional ten-pin bowler currently competing on the PBA Tour and resident of Saginaw, Michigan. On December 13, 2009, the right-hander won his first PBA Tour title and first major in the PBA World Championship, defeating 2008–09 PBA Player of the Year Wes Malott in the final match. Smallwood has won three PBA Tour titles, two of which are majors. He has finished runner-up in two other PBA major championships.
