Tommy was born and raised in Duluth, MN. After college, he moved to Montana with an urge to experience the mountains. He fell in love with the mountain lifestyle and it was a natural progression to venture to Alaska.
Tommy has spent two summers in Bristol Bay gillnetting sockeye salmon and four summers charter fishing out of Seward. Alaska holds a large place in his heart, solely based on the sheer vastness of fish, wildlife, and landscapes. In the winter, Tommy competes in snowboard races and travels around chasing powder. Other passions include fishing, hunting, back-packing and surfing.
