Tom is an entrepreneur with multiple business interests in various sectors working on projects on both a National and International scale; having networked in the past he had built solid relationships with other business owners but had frustrations and poor experiences and struggled to understand why some networkers attended events and meetings and proceeded to only take from the group and not give back. In one previous group he was involved in he came up with a way to help a struggling member by choosing 5 of the members top specific ideal referrals and worked to help them secure an introduction, thus creating the 5 Alive Concept! Tom approached Steve Jones to share his idea and 5 Alive Networking was born soon after.
