Tom Appell

Student of Life

Born in Denver, Colorado (USA), I grew up loving nature, adventure and the extraordinary planet earth. Over the years, I’ve pursued countless interests and developed many passions, but have always favored time with friends & animals. Some of my favorites are: skiing, climbing, mountain biking, SCUBA diving, backpacking, music, white-water rafting, frisbee, lacrosse, fishing, photography, various performing arts, history, games, cooking, botanic gardens & arboretums, wandering around museums, world affairs and seeking out new experiences involving people, places, cultures, foods, etc.

After graduating with a business degree, from the University of Colorado, at Boulder, I've earned certifications in solar energy system design & wilderness medicine. Professionally, I've held several positions, mainly in the outdoor, travel and solar energy industries. Most enjoyably, I led adventure travel in Fiji, Africa (Kenya & Tanzania) and all across the United States. I've also been lucky enough to travel independently to many other countries and experience much of the beauty of this world.

Thanks for taking a few moments to get to know me a little better!
