Tommy's passion for fire & rescue and safety began around the age of 5, and he started his journey of being a public servant at age 12 by taking his first CPR class. Tommy continued his love for this profession throughout his lifetime in many capacities. Tommy's work experience included Randolph County EMS, Alamance County EMS, Public Safety Officer for Randolph Community College, and Moore County Public Safety. Tommy was Assistant Chief and Past Chief of Ash-Rand Rescue & EMS, and he was a volunteer with Robin Sage. Tommy was a former volunteer fireman with Westside Fire Department.

As co-owner of Mancos & McNeill, Inc. , he taught fire & rescue at numerous community colleges across NC and also taught confined space and specialty classes throughout the Southeast. He was an instructor for Mountain Rescue and multiple state and government certification programs associated with fire, rescue, and all branches of EMS.

Tommy shared his passion and knowledge with countless public safety personnel throughout the state and through this had a tremendous impact on saving thousands of lives both personally and through his instruction of others. He is greatly missed and will be forever in our hearts.
