Tom Hayes is a speaker, master salesman and life motivator. With an iron will forged out of the tragic experience of losing a leg to cancer in childhood, he has a compelling history to share with his audiences. A world traveler, extreme sports enthusiast and proud father of 2 happy and successful daughters, Hayes epitomizes a "can do" approach to life's challenges. Even though he lost a leg to cancer at age 12, it is not uncommon to see him skiing by you on a black diamond slope in the Rockies; racing sailing yachts off the coast of Nantucket or if you are up to the challenge, bungee jumping from a 340-foot cliff in New Zealand. From biking in Argentina, to fly fishing the Bahamian flats, to scuba diving in Costa Rica, there isn't a challenge Tom hasn't enthusiastically faced head-on… especially if someone said it couldn't be done. Tom is a believer in the axiom, "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space." He built an enviable 27-year career with Fuji Medical Systems, the international manufacturer of medical x-ray film and equipment. As a sales manager, he grew a territory from $200,000 to over $50 million a year through both personal sales and by building and motivating a top sales team. For the past 20 years, Tom has maintained a second career as a first-rate standup comedian, humorist and speaker. In 1986, Showtime Cable Network selected him as a "Funniest Person" award-winner. Tom Hayes combines his offbeat sense of humor with the practical advice of how the game of life is really won day after day.
