Tom Barber
Tom Barber joins Rush on Unfinished Business, the show for veterans pursuing new missions after the uniform and for the families and communities who stand beside them. Today Tom is a successful businessman, Co-Owner of Guardian Construction and Design and Vice-Chair of the Veterans Business Council of Greater Arlington. Sitting across from him, Rush found himself more interested in the man than in any of the titles.
This is a conversation about owning your own humanity. Tom does not pretend he got everything right, and he does not let the chapters he got wrong become the final word on who he is. There is real emotion here, especially when he talks about the people he loves most, including his wife Candy, whom he calls his best friend and his balance. It is a look at what it takes to carry your past honestly and still build something worth respecting.
In this conversation
- Owning the decisions of a younger man without losing who he is now
- Building a business and serving other veterans in Greater Arlington
- What his wife Candy means to the man he has become
