If you are new to “Thoughts for the Day” this is the best place to start.
If you value perspective that comes from experience rather than ideology, you are in the right place.
I have lived life fully—through its highs and lows—and spent more than 50 years in health care, serving patients, institutions, and communities. Along the way, I have served on more nonprofit boards than I can count and spent over five decades as a baseball and basketball official, learning firsthand about leadership, accountability, fairness, and decision-making under pressure.
I bring that accumulated experience to my writing.
I am not loyal to a political party or rigid ideology. I believe in fiscal responsibility, honest leadership, and a government that focuses on what we cannot reasonably do for ourselves. I value moral clarity over partisan talking points and candor over comfort. When something needs to be said plainly, I will say it.
I write about leadership, politics, sports, and life—often where they intersect. I love sports, rock and roll, and spirited debate. But most of all, I care deeply about people and the communities we share.
If you are looking for thoughtful, reflective, and opinionated essays grounded in real-world experience—and written for readers who have lived long enough to appreciate nuance—I invite you to subscribe.
I publish 2–4 times per week.
I have known Tom and have been best friends with him since we began walking to Kindergarten together in our hometown. I grew up with Tom as my best friend and watched him grow throughout our youth and over the course of our lives into into an exemplary leader at every stage of his life and career through his humility, integrity, great humor and clear-minded, strategic thinking that led all of us who know him to turn to him for feedback, counsel, guidance and true friendship that could be counted on to be straightforward and honest. And even if it wasn't what we'd hoped to hear, we listened and considered his thoughts and opinions because we knew he'd thought the matter through logically and completely. If that's what you're looking for from your subscription, you can count on Thomas Biggs' "Thoughts for the Day" to deliver. I do.
