Thomas will share his own story of success, failure, and recovery—and in doing so will challenge other leaders to create an ethical workplace culture where people are respected because of their intrinsic value as human beings.

Thomas Hill III serves as Chief Executive Officer of Kimray, a leading manufacturer of valves and controls for oil and gas production. His grandfather, Garman Kimmell, founded the company in 1948.
