About Presenters
Tom Calderwood
Tom got hooked on pyro when he was given a (stolen) pack of Black Cats at age 8. He soon discovered Estes and Centuri rockets, and these took priority over ‘crackers, sparklers, and smoke bombs. In the WPA, he found his niche with BP rockets. His involvement with the club led him to be involved as the publications chairman with the BOD for 6 years. Tom is a retired photographer and can regularly be found at fireworks displays with his camera in tow.
