Originally from Florida, Tom has resided in Costa Rica for the last 17 years. Tom was a teacher in Belize before coming to Costa Rica and studied at the Institute for Biodiversity in Costa Rica. Tom worked as a river guide on the Pacuare River where from there the company was formed. Tom's family moved down to Costa Rica to help with the business and now all operations are out of their office in San Jose de la Montana in Heredia located on the slopes of the Barva Volcano. With some excellent networking and the idea of the company being spread out through different small businesses, Costa Rican Resource was
formed.
