Tom Hidock is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. From hi"Father" Tom Hidock, Halloween 2007s charisma to his quiet self assurance to his fashion sense, Tom is the epitome of "cool." But don't let his laid-back attitude fool you; he is one of the more competitive people I know. Maybe that's why he's such a good recruiter: everyone wants to work with him, and he does what it takes to find the right assignment.

Today is Tom's 5th Anniversary with MDI Medical. Over the years, he has placed 132 therapists and therapy assistants in more than 300 therapy jobs across the U.S. He's the winningest employee at MDI, too, with more Recruiter of the Month awards than I can remember, three President Clubs, and one Ella Award (the most prestigious award at MDI).

Tom's success hasn't come easy: he's worked with some crazy people over the years (including me!) and managed through some stressful situations. But he's one of the best guys to entrust your physical and occupational therapy careers.

Happy Anniversary, Tom! I am proud to work along side you, and our travelers are lucky to have you as their advocate.
