QUOTES
Tom: "Your academics is going to play a bigger part in your job on the street than any weapon or martial arts or anything else that you have. Just because I'm a senior black belt, that doesn't mean I get the job because I'm a black belt. I get the job because of my intelligence and my experience in the field."
Tom: "I don't talk about religion, I don't talk about politics, money, or anything like that. We just have general conversations. People try to draw me into that, and I say I'm sorry, I just don't talk about that stuff. I'm here to protect you and your religious or political beliefs are yours. It's okay. It's alright with me."
