Thomas Wrisley has a deep passion for community service and the environment, which gets him out of bed each morning. He graduated from La Pine High School (about 25 miles south of Bend) and attended Central Oregon Community College before transferring to Portland State University, where he is pursuing a BA in Political Science: Public Service with a Minor in Sustainability. He hopes that his degree will help him scale his values of being forward-thinking and kind to positively impact our global human community.
