Athlete Profile: Tom

Tom began with Intrepid over a year ago shortly before his last birthday, and although he has been with us for over a year now, many of our new member have not had the pleasure to meet Tom because for the past few months Tom has been serving our country overseas.  Tom is ever-present in the gym, however, because before he left he loaned us his bumper plates, rower, and hand-built 20″ box that now serves as the standard to which all other boxes are compared.  Between the time difference, a busy work schedule, and less than ideal conditions Tom manages to follow our posts and workouts from his deployed location, commenting on a post or checking in with us via email when he can.  All I can say is that you’re sorely missed not only by the “Varsity” 7pm class but the entire Intrepid Fam.  If he had free time, Tom could be found catching up on his favorite hobbies of skiing, backpacking, rock climbing, or enjoying his favorite single malt Glenlivet 18.

We hope all is well with you Tom and we’ll be sending another package your way in the coming weeks.  Please let us know if you have any  special requests that we can include in the package.  We miss you and hope you’re well Tom.  Happy Birthday.

Happy B Day, Tom! Did you throw that bolder at the Taliban after they pilfered your prowler sled? Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Happy Birthday Tom Foolery :P Is that what they use for catch out there?

Hope you have an awesome day, looking forward to your homecoming and stay safe out there my friend.

There will be a nice bottle of Glenlivet 18 upon your return for a nice little celebration.

I have to say that for a nearly middle-aged man I am suffering from a wicked case of “summer camp homesickness”, and it’s all your fault!!!! I miss you guys way too much and I’m counting the reps, I mean days until I’m home again.
@ Sean – Sorry you don’t have any newer cool shots of me doing military stuff but, frankly, sitting at a desk and doing paperwork never looks very sexy.
