Tom came to Mowglis in 1982 with his best friend from elementary school Michael Lampson and he remained through his Toomai year. Michael convinced him to come and it was only later that he learned that his family had a long history with Mowglis.His Grandfather also attended Mowglis (1910 & 11 camper and in the 20’s as camp doctor) as did his great uncle, though he didn’t discover it until after he was already a Cub.
After a stellar high school career at the Shipley School where he helped power one of the best high school crew teams in the US, including being invited to race at Henley in England, Bob Bengtson convinced him to return to Mowglis as crew coach in 1993. It didn’t take much convincing, Tom was already a loyal Mowglis and this was his chance to “give back.” As it turns out, his experience was as transformational for Tom as it was for the boys he coached and within a few years Tom joined the Holt-Elwell Memorial Foundation Board of Trustees, helping Mowglis through a very difficult period, reflecting a changing world transforming from one era to the Internet age.
Tom’s sons Alexander and Pablo both went to Mowglis, Pablo is now on the staff.
