About Me

My name is Tom. Wadsworth, Ohio, near Akron, is where my wife and I call home.

I'm promoting Avenues To Success to help college students, their parents, college associations that work with parents and students, and myself. Do you think I covered all the bases?

My wonderful wife is an excellent 4th grade teacher in the Akron Public Schools.

We are proud of our two daughters. One is a graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and has earned a MBA from the Bacock School of Management, Wake Forest University. The other is a physical therapist and is working on her Doctor of Physical Therapy at D'Youville College.
