Tom's roots have been in Southeastern Idaho beginning with Thomas Mendon Gallup, his grandfather, homesteading Antelope Flats east of Idaho Falls in the early 1900’s. Living with his grandparents and working on the farm each summer, Tom learned the value of hard work, dependability and service - the same values at the base of Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Idaho, an organization that has empowered him to work with good people from many walks of life the past four decades.
