Tom Fischer

Region: Northwest

I was born and raised in Greenville SC, self-employed in the restaurant and hotel business. Served as president of the South Carolina Restaurant Association, and later as the first CEO of the South Carolina Hospitality Association which combined the restaurant and hotel associations.  A powerful lobby group working at the state and federal level.

After “failing” retirement, I worked 2 years for Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation as Regional Director covering SC, Ga, and Fl.  My wife Barbara, my dog Ching, and I traveled extensively in our motorcoach for 3 1/2 years utilizing Red Lodge Montana as a home base. Now I spend my time hunting, fishing, and riding my two Tennessee Walking Horses in NC, MT.& WY.  I look forward to hopefully joining your board and adding my “rusty” expertise to your effort.
