Having grown up in the Bronx in New York City, Tommy Acosta was no stranger to the sounds of police sirens, fire engines, people laughing, singing, dancing and even fighting in the streets. His early life was exciting, colorful and full of family and pleasant times. While attending Hunter College in New York City, he became the editor of the “Hunter College Renaissance,” modeled after the “The Daily News” and “New York Post.” After college, he served as editor of the “Bronx Times Reporter” (BTR) for approximately five years. Moving to Arizona in the 90′s, he assumed the editorship of the “Chandler Independent” and the “Sun Lakes Independent” community newspapers. Seeking a cooler climate, Tommy moved north to Sedona, Arizona where he assumed the editorship of “The Sedona Times,” a monthly news/features/editorial newspaper. Now, Tommy writes for Sedona.biz, a Sedona cyber-news outlet that has become a reading staple of the community. Tommy also plays with an original rock vocal group called “Green Light” formally the “Tommy Chicky J.R. Band.” Tommy currently writes opinion pieces for the Yahoo Contributor Network. |
