Tom was born and raised in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. He is a graduate of Butler University and has previously worked in Journalism at the online news publication State Affairs.

An avid outdoorsman, Tom saw immediate value in FlagGuard and recognized its potential as a water safety product, and since then has been all-in on the FlagGuard!

He hopes to see FlagGuard become as mainstream as life jackets and to help to prevent deaths from boating accidents worldwide.
