Tom Hacker is the best writer in the world.
I love Tom Hacker's gift of writing. Tom and I worked together at the Northern Colorado Business Report within different departments. We were co workers and friends.
Tom is the BEST and I have infinite admiration for Tom in all aspects of his character and mindfulness.
All the best,
Nancy Glen
