About Tommy
I was born in the southwest United States and am a product of the public education system.
I have significant corporate experience (13+ years) as an HR leader - including in organization design, staff development, and change and transition management.
I am a teacher at heart and a bit of an outdoor enthusiast.
I am a natural leader, listener, and communicator.
As a father of four children in the district I am invested in the health and outcomes of our schools and want to bring my skills and a voice of reason as we build a Stronger Lakota!
