Kristina has been by my side since I was probably five years old. We have gone through everything together. and still manage to remain the best of friends. Kristina is not only my best friend, she is my sister from another mister.

I could never imagine my wedding without my girls standing by my side to send me off with their approval. Though, now I think they are more approving of Tom then they are of me, their own flesh and blood!

AKA the BC'ers for the day (if you know, you know).

Mark and Tom met in 2020 when Tom was living in Wisconsin. Fun fact: Mark taught Tom how to ride a motorcycle.

Steve and Tom met when Tom was in college. Steve opened a transitional housing facility for individuals coming our of incarceration and/or addiction treatment and have been friends ever since they met in 2012.

Scott and Tom met in 2017 and grew a strong bond. Tom has always appreciated Scott's blunt approach to life and that Scott never sugarcoats anything. Scott is a proud member of the Misfarts Riding Club (Motorcycle).

Dylan and Tom met in 2011 while in college together, and spent a lot of time together. When Dylan moved to Duluth, MN, after college, the two remained in close contact and eventually shared similar life events together that brought them even closer.
