ABOUT
TOMMY FISHER
Hello everyone, my name is Tommy Fisher, and I am a proud father of three. While I do not want to be solely defined by my career, I am an electrician in the esteemed Local 98 union. Before my life-altering injury, I had been delivering pizzas at Double Decker Glenolden for over 13 years while being a union member. I am also a proud member of the NPE PTO (when I can attend meetings) and serve as a board member of the best youth wrestling program in the state, in my opinion, Haven Youth Wrestling. Since Halloween, I have been home, which has given me the opportunity to spend more time with my children and has made me realize that I want to prioritize their time and well-being, even if it means sacrificing my own. That is why this company was created. My two oldest children play flag football, and my oldest son’s passion for the sport has fueled this idea to its full potential. Now, let me tell you, I have been coaching my son for three years, and we have played flag football year-round for five seasons now. We have had the privilege of playing at various venues, including Rose Tree, Marple Sports Arena, YSC Sports Complex, Garnet Valley, and Media Youth Center. Our team has achieved multiple championships, and my son has been recognized as the MVP in multiple leagues. I was not alone in this journey; about a year ago, I met my offensive coordinator, Jim Chapman.
