He attended Trinity University and John Tarlton Agricultural College, and then came to Sweetwater to take a position at the Continental National Bank.
While employed at the bank, Tom Flack was introduced to Fay Dulaney. The two began to go on outings with her brother, Jim Dulaney, and Lucille Snell. After a series of picnics and parties, the two were married on October 23, 1915.
Tom worked for the Texas & Pacific Coal and Oil Company, and then worked in the sales department of Gulf Oil Company. In addition to this, the couple had a cattle ranch north of town.
