Tom shares his story of redemption, walking into his first AA meeting in 1957 at just 24 years old. At first unable to identify, he slowly came alive through the steps, sponsorship, and service, transforming from a broken young man into one of dignity, integrity, and leadership. He went on to build a 39-year career in corrections—rising improbably from inmate to prison warden—while also helping countless alcoholics. Alongside his wife of 42 years, he raised two children who went on to professional success, and he emphasized that genuine recovery requires more than just not drinking—it’s about unity, service, and living fully in the spiritual dimension of life, where freedom and joy endure as long as we practice the principles.
