Thomas Hayes

"From tough inner-city beginnings where, at the age of 13, he lost his leg to a rare form of bone cancer, Tom Hayes morphed into multifarious life forms: Fortune 500 sales executive, comedian, inspirational speaker, sportsman, adaptive athlete, world traveler, adventurer, father, and now, author. After early retirement from corporate life, he created a children’s evergreen property, Beantown Pals. What began as a series of short animated webisodes soon evolved into a collectible toy line, merchandise, and storylines. In 2013, Tom Hayes partnered with talented female comedian Tammy Pooler to record a series of wacky adventures around Beantown Pals' two lead characters, Bucky and Betty. Over a three-year period, he and Tammy created over 14 hours of audio-story content. Together, they have authored the series, ‘Beantown Pals, The Adventures of Bucky and Betty.’”
