Tom Nevison | Junior Manager

Tom's second home is at the ballpark. Tom has coaching experience at many different levels and has found a home with the Blaze. As a retired Air Force Veteran, he has many stories including his time working with the Snowbirds military aerobatics flight demonstration team. Tom makes sure that things run smoothly, to almost a military level, and is always looking to schedule games & practices to get the boys out on the field. Tom is a favourite amongst the kids and loves supporting the program on and off the field at all levels, not just the Juniors.
