About Uncle Tommy

Tommy O'Brien, Uncle Tommy, has been organizing events & people since his collegiate years. His experiences range from planning a national educational conference and simultaneously juggling banquets, hospitality suite functions and room service in a 1300-room hotel. He boasts more than 31 years of hospitality and food & beverage service experience.

He has taught in grammar school, high school, and at a community college. Uncle Tommy is also a USSF soccer referee & Instructor, a Mentoring Program Coordinator for the Santa Clara Youth Soccer League, Santa Clara, CA. He has published 2 soccer referee training booklets, �It�s Your Call!�and �7 Ways To Upgrade Entry Level Referee Training & Officiating� both of which can be previewed in www.SoccerRefereeMentors.com. Tommy also consults with soccer leagues looking to set up an effective referee mentoring program.

Of course, he plans and handles corporate events from 150 to 5500 guests for Uncle Tommy's including Santa appearances.

Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Uncle Tommy loves to sketch & sort things out, but he really knows that the graphic arts talents lie within his son, Bob, Senior Graphic Artist for DeVry University, Chicago, Illinois. bob@ROBERTOBRIEN.NET, www.robertobrien.net. Bob occasionally does freelance work & designed Uncle Tommy’s 18th Anniversary logo, business card, and countless fliers for Tommy. A bonafide inventor, Tommy holds a US Patent and US Trademark on two personally designed products. Tommy also is the only person in California to receive Health Department design approval for a special outdoor ice cream cart.

18th Anniversary graphic created by: Robert O'Brien. Robert is available on a freelance basis to work with any of your graphic arts needs such as, sales & marketing brochures, training documents, business cards & stationery, website graphics, etc. www.robertobrien.net; bob@ROBERTOBRIEN.NET

Tommy likes competition in everything that he does. “Being one of eight kids,” he states, “you are no stranger to competition. My mental makeup sees the challenges in life and in my business as tasks to be dissected/sorted out/handled and put behind me. I like helping others work through their challenges as well, so volunteer work feels as natural to me as does eating ice cream.” Tommy was a 14-month volunteer tutor in the Partners in Reading program in San Jose, California.

While not a gourmet cook by any stretch of the imagination, Uncle Tommy really enjoys cooking a good meal with friends; the whole process of prep work-talking-cooking-talking-eating-talking is special.

Next to communicating with his son, playing golf, bowling, camping, going to the movies, refereeing or coaching soccer, and cooking are his most enjoyable activities in addition, of course, to running Uncle Tommy’s Ice Cream Catering.

Some of Uncle Tommy's favorite quotes by others are:

Success is when you get what you want, happiness is when you want what you get.

Always remember, you're unique, just like everyone else.

I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

The future is always closer than it appears.

The problem with resisting temptation is it may never come your way again.

If a cow laughed real hard would milk come out her nose?

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

Cover me, I'm changing lanes.

In Chinese, no word for problem, yet over 20 for opportunity.

If you ever leave me, I'm going with you.
