Tom K.
Business Developer & Strategist
I’ve spent my career in marketing and sales doing what I enjoy most: building relationships. I joined Gardner in 2021 as a business development strategist, a role that lets me connect with clients, partners, and teammates every day. Getting to know people and learning what matters to them is truly my favorite part of the job.
I’m a Minnesota native, raised in Minneapolis and the northwest suburbs, and I love being part of a community full of great people and strong local businesses.
Outside of work, staying active is a big part of my life. I raced on a NASTAR ski team for 15 years, and I continue to ski today. I also enjoy running, long bike rides, golf, volleyball, skating: pretty much anything that gets me outside.
