Thomas Andrew "Tom" Merritt (born June 28, 1970 in Greenville, Illinois) is a host for the TWiT Network and Revision3.

Born in Illinois, Tom's father worked on the Coffee-Mate project as a food scientist. Tom received a BS in journalism from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and pursued graduate work in communications at the University of Texas at Austin.

Tom is married to Eileen Rivera, a former producer for Revision3 shows such as Scam School (but will be joining TWiT as of September).

Tom was an Executive Editor for CNET and the developer and co-host of the daily podcast Buzz Out Loud along with Jason Howell, Molly Wood, and a rotating panel. He is also the author of CNET's "The Real Deal", a regular column & podcast (co-hosted with Rafe Needleman) dealing with consumer technology. He also co-hosted the tech support call-in program CNET Live with fellow editor Brian Cooley, and is also the host of CNET Top 5.

In April 2010, it was announced that Tom would be leaving CNET and joining the TWiT Network full time. His final day at CNET was May 14, 2010 upon which he started growing a beard. He began hosting Tech News Today on June 1, 2010. This was quickly followed by Tom's Top 5 on Revision3.

Prior to the August 2, 2010 recording of Tech News Today, Tom revealed to the live audience that Tom Merritt is, in fact, his stage name. His real name is Barry McGillicutty.

Fun Facts

The fact Tom might be a commie is less disturbing than the rest of this photo. Look at his horse! His horse is amazing! It may in fact be a moth.
