TJ was born on January 9, 1942 in Potsdam to the late Claude A. and Jean I. (Hunter) Moulton. He was a graduate of St. Lawrence Central, and proudly served his country in the US Air Force.

Tommy worked for New York Telephone, then for New Channels, and lastly as a Quality Control Inspector for Time Warner Cable; the position from which he retired in 2010.
TJ was the epitome of a people person. His thirst for knowledge was evident by his involvement in new technology and friendly socialization. He was a photographer and videographer for many events, and in 1985 he started his own disc jockey business, "TJ the DJ".
