4EK Superstar!

Our second 4EK Superstar for 2010 is Ambassador Tom Whitcomb. Tom is a senior at UCF and is currently in his last semester, majoring in Economics. This is Tom's second year as an Ambassador and already every member of the team as well as the staff at the Fairwinds Alumni Center know exactly who he is. Tom's dedication and passion towards 4EK shine through the amount of time and energy he puts into the organization. Tom tends to always be in the running for the "Most Hours" award each semester. Last Spring, he took home the trophy with over 100 hours for the semester. His relaxed and laid back personality tends to bring a sense of calmness to stressful situations. Tom likes to think of himself as the mood lightener. He certainly is great at making every situation a lasting memory, bringing fun and smiles every where he goes. Tom has many passions in life, one at the top of his list being his family. He originally began his college career at Florida Gulf Coast University; however, after his third semester he received word that his older brother whom he has looked up to for so many years, had become ill. From that moment forward, Tom made it his mission to transfer to UCF where his brother was in order to be there for him. Now, here we are two years later, Tom a senior and his brother, Chris, still fighting but stronger than ever. Many who know the two brothers feel that their strong bond and heavy faith is what brought them to where they are today. As a past Ambassador for 4EK, Chris encouraged Tom to join the organization and now here Tom is making his family and friends very proud. Tom is a huge asset to the organization and we are exceptionally greatful to have him on board.
