He was a member of the US. Taekwondo Team, and a National and International AAU Taekwondo Champion. In addition to Taekwondo, Tom is an ESPN professional Karate Association full-contact karate winner. If there are avid cyclists who are listening to this podcast, it’s worth mentioning that Tom was the winner of RAAM Open West, and ranked top 10 in the 1990 Race Across America. Tom holds a National 12-hr record holder (229 miles), a 24-hr Texas State Cycling Champion (1740 miles in 7 days) and a Guinness World Indoor Cycling Record in 2009 (185 hours). Besides competition, Tom appeared on a number of televisions and video series such as the QVC Fitness Expert.

Tom has authored over 200 articles and 16 books. You can find them on Amazon. What strikes me the most is not the endless list of Tom’s accomplishments as an athlete and an educator, but rather his openness, honesty, and willingness to flex, listen and learn.
