I've rarely mentioned him over the past four years because he only rarely speaks. He shares that quality with my brother, who is another damn Republican. When he does, people listen. I'm unable to shut up and share my views constantly, whether you like them or not. As a result, no one listens.
I knew Giovani long before he was on County Council. I used to walk by his shop in Nazareth every day. It was called Hi-Tech Laser Systems. I once walked n to see if he could laser the hair off my back.
"We're not that kind of laser business," he politely responded. His business was more into information technology.
Born and raised in Bangor, PA. Tom attended elementary school at Our Lady of Mount Carmel and graduated from Pius X high school. Tom lived in the Nazareth Area School District in Bushkill Township for 31 years. He now lives in Wind Gap, PA.
Tom founded Hi Tech Laser Systems in 1990. In December 2012, he sold the business to East Coast Network Services and continues to help the company grow as one of its employees. Throughout his career Giovanni has earned a number of IT certifications (Microsoft Networking, Hewlett Packard Certified Printer Technician, Microsoft Windows Server Sales, Cisco Authorized Sales Partner, etc.). Tom has volunteered time in the community as he has served on many Boards in the Lehigh Valley with organizations, such as: Greater Valley YMCA, Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, Nazareth Business Council and Nazareth Bath Chamber of Commerce. Tom enjoys spending time with his wife, three children and two grandchildren as they attend community, church and social events.
What I like about Tom already is that he is someone who has spent a lot of time volunteering in different service organizations before running for office. This used to be commonplace among candidates for public office. Now the only volunteering most candidates do is at the phone banks of their party organization.
As a member of County Council, he has never spoken out of anger or interrupted anyone. He set his ego aside and has been more than willing to work with Democrats on many issues. There are some differences, and he will vote in accordance with his conservative conviction, but let's face it. Most county issues are nonpartisan.
His decision to seek re-election is good news for Northampton County.

Wow, if only I'd known about his HP printer qualifications sooner, he might have been able to save my old HP all-in-one for me. I loved that thing for its photo quality, but when it appeared to dying, I junked it and never did replace it to my satisfaction. Anyway, if he's as you describe, he'll have my vote.
Good man. We need men like him to stand up to McClure's game playing. He counterbalances the council rubber stamps that are in McClure's pocket. Why do they even serve?
Tom laser the hair off your head ?.
Tom Giovanni is a good, good man. He cares about his constituents and it shows. He has my unwavering support!
We need thousands of guys like this if we have any chance of turning this country around. And that is not going to happen.
Mr Giovanni seems like a quiet professional in a sea of showboating wanna be VIPs. He has my vote.
BernieOHare, yes he has nothing to prove to anyone and feels no need to inject himself into every conversation.
