Tom Disselkamp possesses more than 30 years of experience in optical and electrical engineering. Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, Thomas Allen Disselkamp currently serves as a product development specialist for 3M Company. Thomas Disselkamp balances his professional endeavors with various community efforts, including his commitment to the Animal Humane Society.

Among its many volunteer opportunities, the Animal Humane Society allows volunteers to engage in numerous in-shelter roles to support the organization’s operations, including training roles and education support positions. Volunteers who provide training and behavior services at the shelter work to develop manageable and well-mannered pets, which helps the animals remain in their homes long-term and reduces the likelihood that they will enter the shelter system. While no training experience is required, volunteer trainers are expected to make a weekly commitment. 

Education program support volunteers often help with youth-focused community programs, such as the Animal Humane Society’s Unleashed Express Mini Camps and the PetSet Youth Club. To ensure a positive program experience for the young participants, volunteers assist the organization’s humane educators with activity coordination and child supervision. Experienced volunteers can also help create curriculum, plan educational activities, and prepare for events.
