Weber, Tom: - Tom Weber has been a journalist for nearly two decades, most recently with Minnesota Public Radio News. Originally from the Chicago area, he quickly embraced all things Minnesota. Tom lives in St. Paul and generally likes to spend his free time outside (even in the winter), and enjoys biking, hiking, running, and cross-country skiing. He was also happy to learn, during his research for this book, that there are still plenty of places in the Twin Cities to discover.
