Thom Benson has a habit of stepping up before he knows exactly where it’ll lead, and it's served him well throughout his career.
In this episode, Thom shares how volunteering at his college radio station set him on the path to journalism, how raising his hand for the weekend meteorologist role changed the course of his TV career, and how volunteer diving at the Tennessee Aquarium eventually turned into a full-time position he’s held for nearly two decades.
Thom Benson is the VP, Chief Communications & Marketing Officer for the Tennessee Aquarium. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/thombenson).
