Name: Tom Ostrom Birth Name: Thomas Jon Ostrom
After MHS I: I went to Gustavus Adolphus and majored in Communications (no math needed). Pursued a job in advertising, got a job in advertising and then became a partner in a small struggling advertising agency - then I got married, bought a house, had a daughter, sold a house and moved to the suburbs.
While at MHS, I would have loved to have had a date with (or been noticed by): Molly Emmer - The Mystery Hottie
Most Embarrassing High School memory is: Being arrested for DWI after Mary Anne Barr's party - and then puking at the police station.
Most exciting thing I’ve done since I left MHS: On a moment's notice I booked a flight to Europe and toured it solo for three weeks.
Farthest away from MHS: Budapest Hungary or the Island of Santorini, Greece
Best friend while at MHS: Neil Wilson
The most meaningful moment I have had since MHS: As unoriginal as it sounds, becoming a father really changed my world-view. I now have greater understanding of just how frail we are and how big and dangerous the world really is.
I now reside in: Wayzata
Here’s what I do on a daily basis: I write advertising copy and keep the culture of my agency sufficiently inappropriate.
I have kids?: I have a daughter, Emma, she's two and some change. She's a real kick in the pants - a very funny child.
I am married?: Yes
Spouse/Partner: Andrča. I can honestly say she is the sweetest, cutest little person I've ever met. She doesn't have anything even resembling a mean bone in her whole entire body.
I’ve learned since high school: My dad was right all along - I really am best suited to be a ditch-digger.
What I would like to go down in history for: Being the best damn ditch-digger the world has ever seen
