Tom Jones came to WSB-TV in August 2002.

He is a native of Houston, attending high school there before graduating from Texas Southern University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.

Tom began his career in television as a general assignment reporter at KAMR-TV in Amarillo, Texas. He later held the same position at KLSA-TV in Shreveport, La., and later joined KLAS-TV in Las Vegas.

Tom has written for several magazines and once held the title of managing editor of a weekly entertainment publication in Houston.

Tom calls himself a news junkie. He recalls reading both the morning and evening editions of Houston's two newspapers and watching the evening news with his parents. It's no secret then that one of Tom's hobbies is reading, and searching the Internet for interesting news events around the globe.

When asked about having the same name as a famous singer, Tom says he gets plenty of jokes about it. People often ask him to sing or they sing, "She's a Lady, or "It's Not Unusual." Tom says he prefers to leave the singing to the other Tom.

He'll stick to reporting.
