Discovered Courage

Tom Van Walleghem took early retirement from his work in the investment industry to pursue his personal interests in military history, education, and writing. Knowing how history shapes the present, he is passionate about helping people understand the sacrifices and choices made by previous generations that affect the world today. Tom has interviewed several Canadian Veterans and captured their stories in writing. Discovered Courage is Tom’s first book for young readers.

Tom, a big kid at heart, lives with his wife in North Vancouver, British Columbia. He enjoys writing in the woods near his home or at his desk under the watchful eye of his toy pigeon, ‘Spitfire’.
