Thomas Quinlin
I was born in a Mendota Heights, a small town outside of St. Paul, Minnesota. My parents divorced when my sister and I were still young, resulting in both of being bounced back and forth between our parents, grandparents as well as Aunts and Uncles. I graduated from North St. Paul High in 1969 and by the end of that year I was in Vietnam, where I spent the better part of the following 2 1/2 years. Once discharged from the military I went back to Minnesota for a small period of time but left for California where I lived for over 30 years. In 2005 my wife Sandy and I moved to Las Vegas, where we still reside. I run several businesses both in and outside the US including a real estate development project in Thailand, a film production company in Hong Kong, a broadcasting company in Canada as well as an investment management firm and hedge fund in the US. I am also an author with my first book due out in December of 2010. I also have a 10 hour DVD series due out in December of 2010 titled "Starting and Managing Your Own Private Foundation".
