I love to get outside and enjoy it. " Tom says, " I grew up watching the meteorologists on TV, reading the forecast in the newspaper and making my own forecast. I would always know what the forecast was, so I could figure out what I wanted to do after school" To no surprise when Tom is not working, he's outside keeping busy. You may see him biking, running, camping, hiking, playing volleyball, working on the house or garden or anything else that takes him outside. If you know of a cool hiking or biking trail, let him know odds are he'll check it out. In the winter, he's normally clearing the snow from his driveway or out on the snowmobile!
