He was born in Ontario. In 1904 he was part of Canada's gold medal-winning 1904 Olympic team, in which he played in all two matches as a forward and scored three goals against USA's Christian Brothers College (1) and St. Rose Parish (2),[2] finishing the tournament as the joint-top scorer alongside fellow teammate Alexander Hall,[3] thus contributing decisively in his side's triumph. After the 1904 Games, Tom moved to Winnipeg and became Assistant Manager of the A.R. Williams Machine Company to at least 1936.[4]
He should not be confused with Thomas G. Taylor who was a coach of the US Naval Academy's soccer team.[5]
