Tom began his career on the production side of the film and television business. He’s been fortunate to have worked on award-winning projects as a writer, producer, director, cameraman, and editor. He has produced projects ranging from television commercials to documentaries to dramatic films in over 30 countries.

Since 1998 Tom has served as a missionary filmmaker. In 2005, he co-founded 10X Productions to create a feature-length motion picture, “The Enemy God,” among many other film projects.

In his ministry life, Tom works collaboratively with filmmakers in other countries to produce visual stories and to empower emerging filmmakers in other cultures with the goal to make Jesus Christ and his kingdom known in places that are yet unreached. This work takes the form of film training workshops, partnership in producing films, and individual mentoring.

Tom has been teaching online film and screenwriting classes and in-person workshops since 2010. Just so you know, Tom understands what being in school is like; in 2015 he finished graduate school with an MFA in Professional Screenwriting.

Tom is also a fine art photographer and musician, having served as a worship leader in youth ministries and local churches. Tom and his wife, Cara, have homeschooled their own children for 22 years. Their youngest daughter graduates high school in May 2020. The Khazoyans live in the Denver, Colorado area.
