Apocalypse Guide Service

Tom is a proud graduate of South Umpqua High School in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. In 2007, he answered the call to serve and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he spent six years as a helicopter mechanic, working on some of the most advanced aircraft in the military. His time in the Marines not only sharpened his technical skills but also forged a deep sense of discipline, resilience, and commitment.

In 2013, after an intense 11-month battle with bone cancer, Tom was medically retired from active duty. Despite the hardships he faced during that time, he emerged with a renewed passion for the outdoors and a drive to keep moving forward.

Fishing has been a constant thread throughout Tom’s life — from his early days casting lines in the high-mountain reservoirs of Colorado to exploring the vast, untamed waters of the Pacific Ocean. His love for fishing runs deep, shaped by both adventure and healing, and it continues to be one of his greatest passions.
