“Tom Tuohy’s unforgettable closing address at the renowned Maui Writer’s Conference in 2006 inspired me beyond words. Having worked with Tom on several projects in support of his wonderful Dreams for Kids organization since, I can only say that my initial stellar impression of the man has only increased. There are a handful of people you meet in life who you know will make a profound impact on the world, and Tom is one of them. His work to empower young people of all abilities to fulfill their God-given potential is going to change the world for the better. As a former fighter pilot, I’ll put it this way: Tom Tuohy is one of the very few men I would fly and fight for . . . to the death, if the mission required it. I’m honored to know Tom as a friend, and proud to give him the very highest possible recommendation.”
