Hi, my name is Tommy Hammerbeck Sr. and my interests are many. Let me share some of them.

There is little in this wide and wonderful world that does not fascinate or interest me in some way.

 

I retired form Rexnord after 37 years as a Tool Room Machinist, various other machining

jobs; Certified Welder and retired from Quality Control as a Technical Inspector.

 

Now to my outside interests and accomplishments. I joined the Clarendon Fire Department in 1967

and served in many roles in the department over the years. I am now on the role as an inactive member.

 

I was highly active in EMS until retiring in 2005. I was one of the founding Fathers of Warren County EMS and served on the board of directors for many years also serving on the Regional board EMCO West. 

I was a state certified instructor and have taught since 1977 one year after becoming an EMT.

I was also an American Heart Association Instructor and BTLS.  In 1986 I became a Paramedic and was

active in this role for over ten years.  I was also instrumental in setting up the early version of what is now

911,and the buying and site mapping of the county Med  radio system.

 

In 1986 I became a licensed Amateur Radio operator attaining the advanced license.  I am currently the  President of the Elk County Amateur Radio Association.

 

I play the guitar and sing for my own amusement.  I enjoy most outdoor activities such as

camping, fishing, hiking, canoeing, and riding bicycle and motorcycle.  I own a 1987 Honda Gold Wing.

 

I have interests in computers owning several and building several of my own.

 

I do some Civil war re-enacting as my GG Grandfather George W.Edinger a member of the 155^th PVI.

I enjoy history and am an avid reader not only in the civil war but most other subjects and my home looks like a library.

 

I became a healer in the art of Reiki and attained Reiki master.

I also became a Medium / Intuitive and an Ordained Minister in the Spiritualist church.

I have taught several workshops on metaphysics. 

 

I was blessed with a large family with six children. Three boys and three girls and I love them all to pieces.

Although there were times I didn’t like them ( Smile)   I have several grand children  and 2 great grand children,  It's fun to spoil

them and send them home to their parents.  Isn’t life great!!! 

 

There is not enough room to put everything on this site but I would like to convey that I enjoy people and life in general and I have been blessed not with wealth but with family and friends, to which I give thanks.
