My name is Tom and I have worked in professional communications work--writing, broadcasting, video production and as an author of several books--for more than 30 years. I enjoy a variety of interests, particularly history, pro and college football and reading. I am interested in learning, growing and meeting new people and finding out about people around the world--their cultures, languages and lifestyles. Growing up in a small town meant reaching out through reading, listening, communicating by writing, asking questions and constantly seeking more information. I believe the gift of learning never stops and that we can all help one another on the journey. I certainly have never found all the answers nor mastered all the skills but the journey has been interesting.
My background includes work in hospitals, radio, publishing, corporate communications, newspapers and magazines. Currently I write newspaper and magazine features on a variety of subjects including cars, trucks and tractors as well as people's stories in the area where I live. I also follow college and pro football avidly. During the 1980 season, I had a chance to work in pro football and will never forget it nor the people and places that I traveled. I have a lot of patience and humor and would look forward to helping others learn about history, writing, football or similar interests of mine.
