Thomas Gioio

Hi, I’m Tom, or as some of my friends might call me, ‘Luka’

Cameron and I met in college back in 2012 and have been dating since 2013. We first moved in together in 2017, and have lived together ever since. I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in ‘94, but grew up in Eldersburg, Maryland since ‘99. I went to a catholic grade school and a catholic high school before attending UMBC for 3 semesters.

I’m a freelance artist, specializing in anthropomorphic art, and work mainly on commission, I also have a number of health conditions that make it difficult for me to pursue more traditional work. I’ve worked as an artist for years and have a small group of clients, but between health and economic troubles, I have been mainly dependent on Cameron for a while, I figure I should be transparent about this, though we do work as a team, and my income has been helpful when the government isn’t being so functional. Nothing is more important to me than Cameron’s happiness.

In terms of my family, I have my parents, and my brother and his family, as well as a big Italian extended family, who will more than likely comprise the majority of the attendees of the wedding.

I am admittedly quite an anxious and reserved person, so writing this bio seemed like a good way to give people a sense of who I am if I do a poor job of that meeting you in person.
