Tom Irvine draws on his lifelong connection to Lake Superior, his career in private sector leadership, and his experience engaging diverse stakeholders in his crucial role of leading NPLSF. His forefathers manned lighthouses that are now part of Isle Royale National Park, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, and Tom now splits his time between Lake Superior and St. Paul.
