Tom Whiteside: The Power of the Mustache

If you've notice more men sporting mustaches in November, well, that's the work of Tom Whiteside. Tom's part of the Business and Community Engagement team at Movember.  Movember is the leading organization committed to changing the face of men's health, figuratively and literally.  During the 30 days of November, the organization encourages men to grow a mustache to raise awareness of men's health.  Tom's focus within the organization is on the Midwest and Texas to help provide structure and support across local committees, corporations, colleges and communities. He also oversees the MOVE initiative within the US, a program designed to introduce more physical activity, including yoga, into the lives of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas. Before coming to Movember, Tom worked for three years with the LIVESTRONG Foundation in Austin, TX. There he helped build Team LIVESTRONG's endurance athletics program.

Tom graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in English. He is a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma and credits yoga for being instrumental in his recovery.  He also grows a mean Mo.
