Tom Anderson, who was known as \"Tom from MySpace\", \"MySpace Tom\" or \"My friend, Tom\", retired at 40 and is now a travel photographer.<\/p>\n
He posts on social media under themyspacetom, and his Instagram bio reads: \"Former 1st friend, Surfing, travel\/photos, architecture-design, DogDad, SpaceX & CRISPR Investr, Life Extension.\"<\/p>\n
The photographer, 50, who now lives in Hawaii, obviously travels extensively as he posts numerous pictures on his Twitter and Instagram profiles.<\/p>\n
Often they are taken from exotic destinations such as Thailand, Bhutan and the Maldives<\/p>\n
As of November 2021, he has an impressive 647,000 fans admiring his impressive photography.<\/p>\n
According to Influencive in 2017, Tom said about his new work: \"My passion for photography is what keeps me traveling. <\/p>\n
\"I have multiple homes in multiple cities, but Im not satisfied just staying where Im comfortable. I want to keep creating.<\/p>\n
I wasnt taking photography all that seriously, I just wanted to document a wild scene. <\/p>\n
\"But when I loaded the photos on to my computer, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to capture more scenes around the world.<\/p>\n
After retiring in 2009, he started building and designing houses.<\/p>\n
Anderson collaborated with Chris DeWolfe on MySpace in 2003.<\/p>\n
Now 55, DeWolfe quit being the CEO of MySpace in 2009.<\/p>\n
He has been the CEO of Jam City, a video game developer, since he co-founded it in 2010.<\/p>\n
Jam City has worked with Disney and Warner Bros, and in 2018 launched Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, which became the fastest game to hit $100million in revenue in Jam Citys history<\/p>\n
Anderson was replaced as president in April 2009 by MySpaces new owner News Corp.<\/p>\n
By 2010, he was no longer the default friend, and was replaced by a profile called \"Today On MySpace\", or \"T.O.M.\"<\/p>\n
