About Me: Since obtaining a BA in Cultural Anthropology from San Jose State University Tom has: cleaned swimming pools, assistant property master on the movies Airplane and Mommie Dearest (and a couple of others but those were the most fun), stock trader (not stock broker), husband to heiress & princess of the House of Savoy, divorced husband of same (no hard feelings), professional actor in a long running Honda ad campaign for Japan, professional artist, middle school teacher, designer and builder. But most of all, an observer, thinker and learner. He avoided locking in to a particular niche which has kept him outside of the box. Up till recently content with this more passive role in the world as a cultural observer and analyst he’s had little interest in promoting his observations and conclusions. However, for a multiplicity of reasons, not the least of which being the desire to accomplish some worthwhile things which have come to him from his studies and also to avoid the necessity of living under a bridge in his old age… well, he’d like to say hello! In some ways his lack of “traditional” credentials is the point: “Chagora is about empowering all us folks out here without credentials. It’s about realizing that there’s a wealth of good ideas and solutions available to us if we broaden the avenues for finding and implementing those ideas. The very idea of a free market for goods is that even an idiot has enough sense to value those goods that are important to him. A free market in ideas understands that it is the thought which must be evaluated, not the thinker.” Tom Crowl
