“Always build, don't destroy, and I never forgot that. Always build yourself, build others, do something wonderful for somebody else, and your life will be wonderful too.” (23:08)
Tom offers an inspiring look at what it means to live a life full of purpose and adaptability. With a career that ranged over 60 jobs and roles, Tom reflects on key moments that shaped his outlook on life—from surviving cancer four times to continuing to teach safety well into his late 80s. Tom discusses his unique journey, including his time in counterintelligence (where he kept his job a mystery to many), his work in the food industry, and his transition into oil and gas safety training. Tom’s story serves as a powerful reminder that it’s not the challenges you face but how you choose to meet them that defines your life.
