I met Tom when going to school at PGSS. He was with a crowd of people who I only got to know better as the school year progressed. I was already friends with Eric Kiss and Blaine Anderson. And as time progressed, other names like Angela Ottesen came into the picture.

In Nov 2003, after spending doing an extensive military career which included Bosnia, he is settling down in Edmonton Alberta fixing choppers. He is married and has 2 daughters.
