After earning his business degree from Northern Illinois University, he furthered his education with a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Illinois Chicago. Tom’s impressive career spans over forty years in various roles, focusing on management and commercial financing both in the U.S. and internationally. His expertise culminated in his role as Chief Risk Officer, where he adeptly managed commercial risks on a global scale until his retirement at the end of 2022.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Tom’s commitment to his faith and community is evident. He has actively contributed to financial education programs within his church, sharing his expertise to empower others. His dedication to serving
