Tom and Christine's Bio:

Tom Carmazzi spent thirty-seven years in manufacturing and loved the quantitative aspects of his career. He could focus on figures, not faces. However, his heart longed for something more. Through various wake-up calls, sincere connections with those who cared, and personal coaching, he learned to open his heart—not only to those around him, but also to himself. Tom released control and overcame his lifelong fear of vulnerability to make relationships a priority.

Christine Carmazzi had finished college and started her career, and was about to get engaged, when COVID hit. She was thousands of miles from her family, feeling a sense of isolation and uncertainty. Then, something unexpected appeared in her inbox.

In I Love You More Than…, you will discover the simple, unique framework Tom developed to deepen his connection with Christine when life had put distance between them. Father and daughter share freely about their values, perspectives, and experiences. You will have the opportunity to enter their conversations and witness the evolution of their relationship.

I am a lifelong learner, and I work hard to be better today than I was yesterday. I have lived in Cleveland all my life, and I graduated from Miami University with an bachelor's degree in Finance & Accounting, and a master's degree in Accounting. I launched my first two businesses at Miami.

I soon realized that public accounting was boring, so I took a chance, and got back involved with my startup, University Tees (www.utees.com), and haven't looked back since. Other organizations I've co-founded and currently run are The ISI Life (www.theisilife.com) and MasterPlan Coaching (www.masterplancoach.com)
