Tom Bronzo

Bio:  Tom began fencing in 1987 at the age of 40.  At 52 years of age he was representing the United States at the Veterans' World Cup in Siofok, Hungary.  Tom along with co-founder (Ed Zamaripa) have been the driving force that has kept fencing alive in Arcata.  He is now 65 (2012 c.e.) and still travels throughout the states competing in both veterans' events and open competitions. 

Even after all this time he still retains his relaxed, fun loving attitude that has earned him the respect of his peers, fellow club members and the staff.  While he may no longer run the academy he is still there fencing at least four days a week.
