Tommy Thompson

Tommy Thompson is the son of Dr. George Thompson and has been a certified Verbal Judo instructor since 2017. In spite of his youth, Tommy has been immersed in the Verbal Judo material all of his life. 

Prior to Verbal Judo Tommy gained valuable life experience through working in various diverse fields. His first job was at the young age of fifteen at the local car wash. After turning sixteen, he spent years as a local farm hand and machinery mechanic taking care of over 750 acres of property, while simultaneously going to school, and playing football. Once Tommy was eighteen, while working as a Farm Hand he also began working part time as a Lodge Associate at Dick’s Sporting Goods selling firearms. Most recently, he spent over six years as an automotive mechanic for his local community in Auburn, NY gaining NYS certifications through his time in the trade.

Fyodor Dostoevsky said that “The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for”. The weight of this truth pulled Tommy away from the auto mechanic industry and back into the family business so he could commit to maintaining and sustaining his father’s material.  Tommy believes fully in the power of Verbal Judo’s truths to create a world of self-sovereigning individuals who are responsible for their communities, families, and professional work environments. He is now full time with the Institute and strives to continue his father Dr. George Thompson’s legacy by keeping the material ‘Tried and True’.
