Maine is where my family lives.

I grew up here. I love the landscape and the connection to nature.

I grew up in a family, a business, an entrepreneur 's family,

and I knew how it worked.

The idea of making a toothpaste or mouthwash without artificial additives was disruptive.

I have been here at Tom's of Maine for a little over 17 years.

Our employees care a lot about what they 're doing,

what they 're making, how it affects the environment.

We have a bigger picture in mind, of really to make it more than just a consumer good.

Follow your passion, it shows in the product you make, the service that you give.

It comes alive when we have ourselves in it.
