Tom Leftwich

Tom Leftwich

Tom is a country music entertainer, song writer, inventor, and gold miner with over thirty years experience working all aspects of placer and desert gold recovery. He was born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia, found his wife Fran in California, and raised a family of four—all gold miners. He spends every summer gold mining.

Tom says he doesn't have "gold fever," rather it's the adventure, fun and people associated with gold mining that he loves. He recently released his first book, "Gold Mining! Come Along for the Ride."

Tom winters near Edwards AFB where he spent a 53-year career where he enjoyed serving as an engineering consultant in the development of systems for testing experimental aircraft.
