Tom Ford was born in Billings Montana and moved with his family to northeastern Wyoming as a young boy. Wyoming is where his passion for horses and the western way of life became the medium of his art work which can be found in his bronze sculptures, drawings, stone and metal signs. His love of Campbell County is evident in his monument "Pulling Leather". The bronze sculpture was donated by Tom to the men and woman who proceeded him in what was once the wild west. Today Tom, his wife Beth and children spend their time working and adventuring their way around the vast plains and mountains Tom calls his backyard.
