Tom Farley
Mental Health & Addiction Treatment & Recovery Advocate; NYT Bestselling Author, "The Chris Farley Show"; Professional Relations Coordinator at Rosecrance Behavioral Health
Tom Farley grew up in Madison, WI, and graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in Marketing. He began his career in banking and finance, living and working in the New York City area. From 1999 to 2012, he ran The Chris Farley Foundation, a nationally recognized non-profit dedicated to substance abuse prevention. Farley developed a unique humor-based communications program that leveraged its namesake’s unmatched ability to attract and retain the attention of youth audiences. The foundation’s core program was improv-based workshops designed to help develop better communication skills and to help youth audiences create “peer-enhanced” environments rather than peer-pressured ones.
Like his brother, Farley was successful in opening the “eyes and ears” of audiences through the powerful and effective use of humor. In 2008, he wrote “The Chris Farley Show,” a New York Times bestselling biography of his late brother, the actor and comedian Chris Farley. He has been interviewed on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, Fox News and The View. He has also been featured in People Magazine, USA Today, two CNN special reports on substance abuse, and several national and regional newspapers and publications. Now, in recovery himself, Farley has become an engaging and powerful advocate for mental health and addiction treatment and recovery. Farley works for Rosecrance Behavioral Health as the Professional Relations Coordinator for Wisconsin. He is also a motivational speaker, delivering messages on prevention and recovery. Farley lives in Madison, WI.
