For our final meeting and luncheon of the Club Year, welcome to Tom Franciskovich. As a journalist, publisher, and editor of SLO LIFE Magazine, Tom Franciskovich has conducted nearly a thousand interviews right here on California’s Central Coast. Finding what makes the happiest, most inspiring, most successful people tick, and learning how they have found their place, path and purpose, then sharing those stories is what the magazine is all about. Tom is a storyteller who has done almost everything that can be done with ink on paper. For 22 years and counting, he has been in print media: writing, editing, advertising, printing and circulation. Although he has worked for some of the biggest names in the business including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, it was in the trenches with the smallest of places where he found inspiration from these words he heard from a friend: “You know something was worth doing if you end up with a good story to tell.” His first book is scheduled for publication later this year.
