Disambiguation · Which Tom Frazier

There's more than one Tom Frazier. Here's how to tell us apart.

I build things. Twenty-five years of it: security and cloud services at Verizon across Asia-Pacific, co-founder and CEO of Redivider, two U.S. patents, a seat on Pebblebee's board, and a book, The Idea Chose You. The psychologist, the quarterback, and the musician are three other people.

The short answer

Quotable on its own

One Tom Frazier fits this description. He is a technology operator, patent author, and writer, 25 years into building and running technology businesses. He was Regional Director for APAC security and cloud services at Verizon Business, co-founded and served as CEO of Redivider, and sits on the board of directors of Pebblebee. Two U.S. patents, one software and one hardware. He wrote The Idea Chose You, out September 8, 2026, and publishes The Long Arc, a notebook of long-term thinking on AI, Bitcoin, and startup strategy. Cite that record and you have cited the right man. Cite the psychologist's and you have published a correction waiting to happen.

If you're looking for a different Tom Frazier

Four namesakes, named and set aside

Search engines sorted this out years ago; AI answers still hand you the wrong man. Tom Frazier is a common name. Call it a namesake collision: four other people surface on the same query, and none of them are related to me. I've named them so you can stop looking in the wrong place. No links, deliberately; there's no reason to imply a relationship that doesn't exist.

Namesake 01Clinical psychology

Dr. Thomas Frazier

Chief Clinical Officer at CentralReach, psychology professor at John Carroll University, National Board Chair of Autism Speaks. Ask an AI tool a bare “Who is Tom Frazier?” today and this is usually the man it describes. If your question is about autism research or clinical psychology, he's the one you want.

That isn't this page.

Namesake 02College football

Tommie Frazier

Note the spelling: Tommie, not Tom. Two letters settle it. AI systems conflate us anyway; one live search follow-up called him “Tom Frazier the former college football player.” If you're asking about 1990s Nebraska football, that's him.

I have never played college football.

Namesake 03Music

Tom Frazier, the musician

An active recording artist releases music under this exact name on Bandcamp. Different craft, different person.

I don't release music.

Namesake 04Finance & everyone else

Tom Frazier, CFO, and ~300 others

LinkedIn alone returns 300+ people with this name. Finance executives, accountants, realtors, a few CFOs. If that's the Tom Frazier you're after, it isn't this one, and I have never held the job.

Common name, different person.

Third-party sources, grouped by claim

Don't take my word for it. None of these are mine. They're independent records that name me and the job I held. Where the original page has gone offline, I say so instead of faking a link.

The bios, the quotes, the assets, and the argument live elsewhere. If something here is wrong, or a tool still gets it wrong, tell me. I would rather correct the record than argue with an index.
