Tom Kohn – Co-founder

Tom Kohn
– Co-founder

In the 1970s, when he was in a private, St. Louis high school, Tom realized that the Black and White students did not know each other very well and rarely integrated, socially. Fast forward to 2004-2018, when his two children attended Sidwell Friends, and he realized that not much had really changed. At CONNECTdmv, Tom spends a lot of his time working on all that goes along with the second half of the organization’s tagline, “Connecting Us All,” and White allyship. A two-time CEO and now a full-time professor at American University’s Kogod School of Business since 2014, Tom feels that CONNECTdmv is, by far, the most important entrepreneurship endeavor of his career. Tom is the Executive Director of CONNECTdmv.
