Tom has led a very interesting life, filled with various adventures, all the while enjoying a full family life. Activities such as these filled his life with humor and excitement: surfing, coaching soccer and Little League, playing semipro football, diving with Navy SEALs, off-road car racing Baja 500 and 1000, Tecate 250 on a motorcycle, fire department captain, Senior Olympic volleyball, automobile road racing, sailboat racing and cruising, and many more exciting and humorous moments.
That period of our history offered his generation the opportunity to achieve a full life experience without some of the restraints that the new generations must endure.
