Tom considers himself a “born again runner.” Until about 12 years ago he was a pack a day smoker who treated his body awfully. But shortly before the birth of his second child I decided that it was past time to fix myself and to be a better example to his children. Since that point he has run 13+ marathons, four Ragnar relays, and numerous other events.

He has his coaching certificate to help others “find their light” and that is the motto of FireFly Running.
