Thomas A. Gunderson

He's an all-American guy with the wins to support it: a swimming All-American at St. Olaf, just a few years after captaining his Henry Sibley High soccer team and starring in the 200 and 400 meters in track. Tom's household still is dominated by sports, including an uncommon one: He helps train the quarter horses that his wife of 22 years, Kay, rides in barrel racing competitions. Investing has been a favorite for decades, too. Reading his dad's investors' reports as a high school senior, Tom decided to invest, watched his stock climb, and became hooked. "I love measuring against a standard. In the end, winning numbers speak for themselves."
