He engages his travelers on tours with challenging trivia games he creates and selects film to show on the coach that have some connection to specific tour locales. He believes that to be a good traveler you must be flexible, patient and have a sense of humor. Tom is married and has two children and four grandchildren. In his free time, Tom likes to read, watch films, play golf, walk and, of course, travel.
