His father, Marty, is a Hall of Fame broadcaster for the Cincinnati Reds. Thom sounds a lot like him, but Marty modulates his voice and doesn't sound fake. He pretty much calls it like he sees it, which is great. He is probably my wife's favorite radio announcer because he doesn't pull any punches, but is extremely professional at the same time.

Thom is actually going to be joining him with the Reds starting next season. Let's hope daddy teaches the kid a thing or two.
