TOM SINDLEDECKER

SECRETARY

Tom has over 25 years of management experience at CarMax, where he has worked across multiple states including Maryland, Virginia, Utah, Colorado, and Washington. Originally born in Colorado, Tom spent much of his youth in California. Over the course of his life, he has relocated more than 20 times, living in 10 different states and serving in Germany during his time in the United States Air Force. For the past decade, he has called Washington State home—the longest he has ever remained in one location.

Tom's involvement with Spark began when he organized volunteer efforts for CarMax employees to support Spark’s activities. His dedication evolved from being a Spark volunteer, to being invited to join the board. He finds it especially rewarding to be part of Spark Central’s contributions to Spokane and the surrounding communities.

In his spare time, Tom enjoys traveling, listening to music, and working on various DIY projects in his garage. These creative efforts often result in excessive sawdust, sudden paint splatters, and a collection of unfinished projects taking up valuable garage real estate.
