Tom McManus

Tom McManus is a former NFL player, an author, a radio and TV personality, a motivational speaker and entrepreneur.

His book is titled, "We'll Always Be Pals"; The last words of a dying father and a true hero!

"We'll Always Be Pals" are the last words my father said to me before he died. The youngest of his six children, he taught me everything there is to know about how to be a man in this world. He should know after the life he lived. Born in 1920, Gene McManus witnessed some of the most historical events in our country's history. A product of the Great Depression, he was a football star, a boxer, a B-24 Liberator pilot and POW during World War II. He was an American hero. He was my hero.

My story is a small one. Out of football for two full seasons after a glorified college career, I had left my football dreams behind me until I got a call out of the clear blue sky. The man who taught me how to play the game was all the inspiration I ever needed to realize a life long held dream.

"We'll Always Be Pals" is a life story filled with life's lessons between a father and son, who were fifty years apart in age yet ended up best of friends.

Most importantly, Tom McManus is a devoted family man, filled with principal, who dedicates his success to the inspiration of his wife Kristina and their three daughters, Avery, Kelsey, and Harley. They reside in Ponte Vedra Beach, a beach community of Jacksonville, Florida.
