Though I met him once already, my first impression of Tom is when I saw him lying on the floor in a food coma after a Taco Bell challenge. I thought to myself "anyone who likes taco Bell that much is a friend of mine." Plus I thought he was acting hilarious so that helped. On a side note Joe Paulson apparently beat the challenge, so congrats to him.
I needed help for a photo project about a year ago, and for Tom's photo, it involved putting on make up. So we found Sarah and had her put on mascara and eye liner on Tom. Both of us men learned the hard way what women have to go through taking make up off. Thanks again for pulling through that Tom.
Tom, you're one of my favorite people I've met up here at Northern. You're always very funny & witty and make a lot of people around you smile, and I always appreciate finding other people equally goofy as me. Good luck with teaching, I know you'll be awesome at it.
