Tom Creel

Tom Creel was born and raised in Kansas City. He was also educated in the Midwest, with an undergraduate degree in engineering from the University of Kansas and a law degree from the University of Michigan. He was then an Army officer during the Vietnam war years, being stationed at Fort Eustis and the Pentagon. From Washington, D.C., he moved to Westchester in the 1960s, where his children attended and graduated from the public schools.

Tom practices law in New York City and was also a lecturer for almost two decades at the Columbia University Law School. His course was entitled "Technological Properties", which covered patents and trade secrets. His law practice has been primarily in the area of intellectual property (patents, trademarks and copyrights).

Recently, he has moved his performances from before judges and juries as a lawyer in some of the biggest cases you have never heard of to different venues. He has performed as an actor in numerous plays, movies, TV shows and commercials. You may know him from his role as Congressman Gary Nelson on the Onion News Network. He and his wife Carol, who is the co-owner of a special education school in Westchester, have five children and four grandchildren.
