Tom Gillihan
President/Founder

“Loving our clients and taking unbelievable care of them.” That’s how Tom describes life at the company he founded in 1997. What he enjoys most about his job is having, as he says, “the flexibility to accomplish great things for our clients.” Keeping a healthy spiritual outlook is of the utmost importance to him. For Tom, a weekend escape to go fishing or an adventure in central Oregon is what he calls R&R.
