Tomas was born and raised in the North Massapequa neighborhood of Long Island, New York. His father was a New York City police officer and his mother a school bus driver for the local middle school. While in his pre-teens, Tomas discovered the liberating bombast of hard rock, listening to bands like Van Halen and Black Sabbath while also becoming infatuated with the musical styles of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. At the age of 10, he began to teach himself guitar and bass. Costanza explains, "When I first heard Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo on Michael Jackson's "Beat It", I knew I wanted to be a rock star."
