Welcome to Rask.com - the home on the web for Thomas ("Tom") Rask, B.Sc. Materials Science, M.Sc. Electrical Engineering.
I have chosen to limit my professional activities to:
- Logical Sites, Inc. ("LSI") - I am the Managing Partner and 75% owner of a highly successful internet publishing company. LSI and it's predecessor company (Rask, Inc.) has existed since 1996.
- Private capital placement. - using my own money, I have provided several hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds to carefully selected and innovative companies in Scottsdale, AZ, San Jose, CA and elsewhere.
- Expert counseling on UDRP issues - having won the heathrow.com and scania.mobi UDRP cases (the latter against a complainant with 150+ trademarks in 100+ countries), I believe I can assist others with their UDRP cases.
- Business advisory services - one thing I enjoy is taking an organization and making it more efficient, cutting costs and streamlining processes. I can take a money-losing business and make it profitable (that is, if it can be made profitable at all).
My resume can be found here.
In the personal arena.....
- I enjoy bicycling, bridge, travel and understanding how a business works. Yes, business is my hobby.
- Accountability in government - tourism promotion in the State of Florida is one thing I know about through my work. Hundreds of millions of dollars of public funds are used each year for this effort, and there is tremendous waste, corruption and abuse in this area.
I am committed to holding elected officials accountable and I am putting my money where my mouth is. In 2010, I was first person to donate to Pinellas County Commissioner Norm Roche's campaign. I donated the maximum allowed by law ($500) and I did so 4.5 months before anybody else donated any money. Mr. Roche won, defeating a 13-year incumbent who outraised Mr. Roche 10 to 1.

I write it this way to thwart spammers.
