Thom Strizek has lived in Fond du Lac for all but the youngest years of his life, and had a blend of local public and private school education before dropping out of high school and pursuing being a polymath. He’s had many jobs from steel fabrication to cheese making, CNC operation, and his current career as a utility locator, which he’s held for 11 years.
He spent six years volunteering as a leader in the local Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Girl Scout groups to which his two children have belonged, and currently chairs an eponymous non-profit.
He has more hobbies than his wife wishes he had, the largest of which are woodworking and design, but has also included computer repair, vehicle repair, writing, performing, reading, language, and tabletop role-playing, to name a few.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx.
