Tom received a BA in history from Williams College; a MBA in finance from the University of Chicago; and a JD from William Mitchell College of Law.
Tom’s volunteerism for Conservation Minnesota ranges from providing strategic planning and legal analysis to “dropping literature.” Tom also provides volunteer representation on behalf of the Children’s Law Center of Minnesota and for others who are unable to hire an attorney. Tom is on the board of the South St. Paul Educational Foundation, Minnesota Skating Scholarship Foundation, and RugbyDayMinnesota, and is active in other community organizations.
