Clearing the Static.

The "TV" in TV Repairs
Hello! I'm Comrade Tom (he/they). I serve as an affirming, non-judgmental thinking partner for high-achievers navigating the tension between the life they have and the life they want.
My professional background is rooted in community advocacy and social impact. I’ve raised millions for housing in Iowa, advocated for LGBTQ+ equity at the PFund Foundation, supported North Minneapolis through the pandemic, and spent years in tech consulting building complex systems. Through these high-pressure environments, I realized that while I could build external systems, the most vital work happens within the individual.
From Chaos to Coherence
That's where the name "TV Repairs" comes from—a nod to my initials, but also to the process of tuning a signal. When you tune a receiver, there is a moment the static stops dancing and the picture locks in. The noise doesn't just wipe away; it resolves into clarity. As a student of Integrative Health and Wellbeing Coaching at the University of Minnesota’s Bakken Center, my goal isn't to be a "sage" with all the answers. Instead, I operate from a place of unconditional positive regard—recognizing that you are the expert in your own life.
We work together to adjust the dial, clear the static, and find that moment of synchronization where your actions finally align with your values.
The Turtle Philosophy
Once you find your focus, how do you keep it? That's where the turtle comes in. To me, the turtle represents a recovery and alignment that is grounded, protected, and steady. Quick fixes give a burst of progress, but taking the steady path builds habits that last a lifetime.
Any shift that happens is yours to claim. I am simply here to clear the path and support the changes you choose to make.

High-Achievers
You carry the weight of the world, often asking yourself to ignore your own needs. We work to resolve the exhaustion of feeling out of sync with your own heart.
LGBTQ+ Individuals
As an advocate for LGBTQ+ equity, I provide a fiercely affirming, deeply empathetic space tailored to the unique transitions and challenges of queer life.
Anyone Feeling "Stuck"
You know there is a gap between the life you have and the life you want, but the "internal tango" of indecision is keeping you frozen. Let's fix the antenna.
How It Works
Realignment doesn’t happen overnight, but it begins with a single conversation.
1
The Initial Conversation
We start with an honest, non-judgmental chat. We'll identify the "static" in your current routines, discuss your values, and decide if we are a good fit to work together.
2
Tuning the Dial
You are the expert in your life. I act as an affirming thinking partner to help you challenge your own assumptions, build autonomy, and design a customized, steady path forward.

Steady Forward Progress
Like the turtle, we focus on resilient, grounded progress. We implement micro-habits and adjust as we go, ensuring the changes stick for a lifetime without burnout.
