My name is Tom. I'm a professional musician, puppeteer, and school assembly presenter with more than 35 years of experience performing in schools and libraries throughout New England. I run my own business and spend much of the school year traveling to performances during the day and returning home in the evenings.
I'm quiet, responsible, financially conscientious, and easy to live with. I live a low-key lifestyle, don't smoke, don't drink, and don't host parties. Most of my free time is spent working on creative projects, hiking, reading, making music, or visiting my partner in Maine.
Because of my work and relationship, I'm often away performing, traveling, or visiting my partner, so I spend a fair amount of time out of the house. When I am home, I work on my business from home. This includes office work, writing, recording, and occasionally making music during reasonable daytime hours. I'm always mindful of neighbors and shared living spaces and make a point of keeping noise levels respectful. My partner lives in Maine and may occasionally visit and stay for a weekend, perhaps once a month or so.
What I'm Looking For
I'm looking for a comfortable, peaceful place to call home beginning around August 2026. My ideal situation would be:
A studio apartment, one-bedroom apartment, or shared living arrangement with one compatible housemate
If sharing a home, I'd prefer someone who works outside the home during the day, since I occasionally work from home creating music and educational programs.
A quiet environment with respectful neighbors
Access to nature, walking trails, parks, or green space nearby
Off-street parking
A long-term rental, though I would consider flexible arrangements for the right fit
I'm making this move to be closer to my partner while maintaining access to the areas where I perform and work. More than anything, I'm looking for a place that feels calm, welcoming, affordable, and conducive to creativity. I value open communication, mutual respect, and being a good neighbor, and I hope to find a living situation where everyone feels comfortable and at home.
