Biography
Tom West lives in east central Oklahoma. He retired from the casino business in 2009. After 20 years of living in the fast lane in Las Vegas Nevada, he calls the country his home and thoroughly enjoys it.
Tom started writing about his life experiences, although not diligently, shortly after retiring. It started as his history to pass onto his family. From his early days in Southwestern Oklahoma where he was born during World War II, to his retirement years, he has written about the many things he has done and seen, and the numerous people he has met along the way. Those who heard him talk about his life over the years have told him you are a very interesting person and you should write a book. One such person was Dr. A.W. Sibley, an author himself. He is the one who suggested the title for Tom’s book “The most interesting person you have never met.”
Tom also has co-authored a book for the US Government published by the Washington National Press. And, he wrote a speech for a US Senator given to a joint session of Congress for which Tom received a Congressional Commendation signed by the then President.
Married for 39 years, Tom and his wife have a very active life style with a bass boat, motorcycle, and roadster sports car. And of course, lots of traveling.
Now at 75-years-old, Tom has finished telling his story for all to enjoy. He states “my life has and is still interesting and exciting every day.”
