Ogden FamilySearch Center 2017 Conference Biography: Difference between revisions

Tom Perry is Extreme Genes’ “Preservation Authority.”  He graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and earned his Audio Engineering & Music Video Certification from Full Sail University in Florida.  As a youth, Tom was deeply interested in family preservation and documentation, working with his mother doing genealogical research and assisting in his father’s love of photography.  Following in his father’s footsteps in June of 1973, he launched TMP Productions, now know as TMCPlace.com.  The enterprise has taken Tom across the United States and throughout Europe and South America consulting, documenting, and preserving memories in various formats as technology has changed and advanced.  Tom loves to teach, so Extreme Genes is a perfect fit.  He enjoys sharing with listeners his expertise and loves helping them to do what they can on their own in preserving their treasures.  Looking forward to the day he can travel full time restoring and preserving family treasures around the globe is his ultimate goal.  Tom now resides in northern Utah (when not traveling) with his son.
