After serving 12 distinguished years in the Marine Corps, including several combat deployments, Tom chose to pursue his lifelong passion for working with and training dogs. In 2014, he launched his first Off Leash K9 Training facility in Murrieta, CA. Under his leadership, the business has expanded impressively to include nine locations and employs over 20 skilled trainers.

Throughout his training career, Tom had the privilege of working with clients from the NHL, NFL, UFC, and the Hollywood film industry. After two decades in Southern California, Tom felt it was time for a new adventure.

Tom now resides in Prescott Valley and is excited to bring his expert training services to the Quad Cities Area. His father, Gunner, has been an integral part of the business from the start and is one of Tom’s top trainers. Although now retired, Gunner continues to train dogs in Prescott Valley, driven by his profound love for dogs and his commitment to transforming the lives of dog owners.

Together, Tom and Gunner are thrilled to introduce Off Leash K9 Training to the Quad City community, offering unparalleled training and care for their canine clients.
