He graduated from St. Paul Academy in 1963, attended Duke University, graduated from the Univ. of MN and received his law degree from the University of Minnesota, School of Law in 1970. He joined the firm of Lindquist & Vennum practicing corporate and securities law, with expertise in the drafting of documents for public offerings. In 1977 Tom was asked to be the attorney for a young company about to go public. That company was St. Jude Medical and in 1979 Tom became a director, staying so for the next 32 years. He was extremely proud of the Company and totally devoted to it, even attending meetings by phone while he was in the hospital. Recently the Company re-named its employee scholarship program in his honor. Tom was an avid golfer and a wonderful competitor. A long-time member of Somerset Country Club, he won its Championship 13 times over 5 decades. In 1961 and 1962 he won Minnesota's lone spot in the USGA Junior Championship Tournament held in NY. In 2001 he won the Minnesota State Senior Amateur Championship held at Somerset. He was also a member of Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, AZ. Tom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2003. His family is so grateful for the tremendous care he received at Mayo Clinic, Methodist Hospital - Rochester and, especially, for Dr. Morie Gertz, who was there for him every step of the way. During the last few years Tom was asked to participate in several Mayo drug trials and he was so happy to do so because he said he was thanking all the trial patients who went before him and helping those to come. We also thank the staff at Methodist Hospital - Minneapolis, and Drs. Conroy, Carter and Menge for their care and support. Tom adored being a grandfather and was so proud of his grandchildren. He believed that his most important role was making the very best of memories for them. He took each of his grandchildren on a special trip just for them. He will be remembered most for his honesty and integrity, generosity and devotion to family. A celebration of Tom's life will be held on September 15, 2012 from 2 pm to 6 pm at Somerset Country Club, 1416 Dodd Road, St. Paul, MN. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Mayo Clinic for Multiple Myeloma Research or the Minnesota Military Appreciation Fund.

You can really tell when someone's creating something that they feel incredibly passionate. Like they must say this story, they have to tell this. And they love it while they're making it, that shows in the work that shows in the work. And so just touching base with yourself. It's a, it's such a healthy way to live. And so I love helping people discover how easy that is. It isn't as scary as we think it is at all. And it's so much less pressure, then all these other outward facing reasons to make artwork. And so that's probably my top fun thing other than just really seeing people succeed. I love when I find someone who is you know, they're bound and determined to do what they need to do to make it and I get to sort of like shove them on their butt as they climb up the ladder. I love that.

Welcome, Tina, again, to the BoldBrush show. How are you today?
Good, and I'm so happy to have you. Because you are a joy to have on the podcast. And of course you have one of the the most wonderful energies ever been around. And you're also here to promote something really fun that you've got going on this year, which is your online mentorship program. So do you mind telling us what inspired you to start the online mentorship program?
Well, yes, well, I actually started online mentoring way back in like 2017. And it worked out good for my schedule in order to do one on one mentorship with people that way, just because there were so many people wanting to like I had great mentors, and I was talking about that a lot in public and online. And people were asking me, Well, how do you get a mentor? And how do you like what is a mentor? Why is that different than taking a class or whatever. And so, so many of them were really far away from Kansas City, Missouri, and having someone in person was just not going to be an option. So I started doing one on one mentorship way back then. And I could see right away that it was really fruitful for the mentees. They only needed maybe for six months worth of communicating with me to kind of work out their problems and take the next steps towards their mastery. And then they were so excited. They were telling everybody else about it. So when the pandemic hit, I was super happy to do the same thing just on a larger scale, because they were even more people who were sort of stuck to themselves and couldn't figure out what to do with themselves and had longtime been putting aside like their personal desires to be creative people. And so it just really bounced up so much. And I'd started doing it in a group format in 2020. And that was so much fun. Those women that were in that initial mentorship group, they're so dear to my heart. They were kind of like my lifeline to the rest of the world, throughout the pandemic. And it was just such a gift to me to have that to be a part of their lives in that way. And many of those are even in this next session of mentorship because they just enjoyed it so much. And it's been really beneficial to them. So I guess I got inspired because I saw a need. And I know that I can help people with that. And so it just kind of grew organically.
