Tom grew up in north Tacoma, about three blocks from the University of Puget Sound (UPS).  As a child he rode his tricycle around the office desk in the basement of their home while his Dad worked to grow the business. Tom began learning insurance terminology around 8 years old and started assisting with files at age 14.  During his tenure at the University of Washington Tom majored in Risk and Insurance. He spent his college summers meeting with clients and entered the family business full time in August of 1965. He now has 52 years in the insurance business.

"It's been a great career," he says. Tom enjoys the opportunity to help clients understand their insurance needs, calm their financial concerns and most importantly, help with any claims that might develop. "We are selling peace of mind. If we can assure our clients have the proper coverage at a proper price, we have met our goal." Tom is not a specialist in any one particular area of insurance but takes pride in being well versed on all insurance coverages. He is able to help clients analyze their risk to determine what risks they wish to insure, assume or avoid. 

Tom enjoys water skiing, running, and hiking, especially when the sun is shining. He and his wife recently celebrated 50 years of marriage and are proud parents and grandparents. In his spare time, Tom volunteers on boards for the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties and MultiCare Health Systems. Each month, he also takes photos for Kiwanis Terrific Kids elementary school program as well.
