Tom Bruno
Meaningful adventure is the battlecry!
Raised in the midwest, Tom escaped from Normal (Illinois) to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. Perpetrating numerous mischievous exploits at the Academy, he still managed to graduate in 1985 with an Electrical Engineering degree.
His journey continued as a navigator in the low-level, high-velocity, RF-4 Reconnaissance jet in the Far East, writing stories in the cracks of time.
After the Air Force, while working toward his master’s degree in English, he won the coveted Bazzanella Literary Award for short fiction.
The marriage adventure began in 1989 with Elsa, and together they moved to Woomera, Australia where they owned and operated Papa’s! restaurant (1st edition). With the bug for business, they returned to Colorado where Tom owned and operated a vending machine business for 12 years.
Now, you can visit Papa’s! Restaurant (Extended edition) at 132 W Main St, Florence, CO for the best pizza, calzones, salads, sandwiches and pasta in Fremont County, all in a decopunk atmosphere.
The expedition continues as Tom and Elsa write, build and explore Colorado with their three highly talented boys.
