Tommy understands all too well that life is full of challenges, struggles and sometimes it’s just downright mean. As a teenager he learned first hand how drug and alcohol abuse can turn a life upside down. For him, it meant dropping out of high school, a couple of suicide attempts and a short incarceration. At 20 Tommy got into a horrific car crash that nearly killed him, thankfully he survived and was able to get sober. At age 24, Tommy’s older sister Grace was murdered and like so many others in America, her case remains  unsolved. Tommy knows life struggles and challenges but he also knows unconditional love, happiness and joy thanks to his support system, family and friends. Tommy and his wife Rachel continue to strive to help others in various ways. They are compassionate towards children, people in need of recovery, suicide prevention and veterans.
