Tom Schulte has been an avid music collector, pursuing the furthest reaches
of diverse genres. After taping every record he could not buy, Tom entered High School with an appetite whetted for music exploration. He was second chair in his High School orchestra and remains an avid patron of symphonic and operatic music, today. A gamut of punk rock and heavy metal bands followed. His final project, The Scruffy Tearaways, played all major Great Lakes-area cities as peers on the then burgeoning "crossover" or "metal core" scene.

Immediately after High School, Tom began chronicling his adventure through with a weekly column in Jam Rag magazine of Detroit, MI.  This column, Outsight, grew to other publications. The column has run in several publications across the United States and Canada since 1989. The column grew into Outsight Communications, a content provider that provided or provides material for CDNow, All-Music Guide, MTV.COM, womanrock.com and more.

Tom Schulte's experience in broadcasting began, after guesting on various shows, with a regular Thursday morning drive-time program on WPON-AM (Pontiac, MI). After using this program as a platform for sharing new music discoveries for over a year, Tom went on to be the evening and weekend substitute host for WDET-FM Detroit Public Radio, one of the Top Ten Public Radio Stations in the country. Parallel to this, Tom began an Internet Radio program in early 1998. The show, Outsight Radio Hours, is produced from Tom's home. Tom works as the DJ and engineer, applying the training he acquired at the state-of-the-art WDET studios. Tom's show always featured new recording touched on in his column. Each show featured a representative live interview with an artist from one of the new releases. Past guests from the eclectic program include Les McCann, Mortiis, Scanner, Billy Sheehan. Duke Fakir (Four Tops) and more.

Tom has been involved in Internet technology since acoustic modems and the Freenet. Today, he is a senior application developer engineering and custom-building Internet solutions for automotive industry manufacturers and suppliers. As a person that spends his free time exploring new music and collecting classic vinyl, Tom sees Internet radio as a perfect synthesis of career and extracurricular interests. He would also love to tell you about his reading list and latest chess strategies.
