February 2016:

IBO Evening Meeting will take place on Wednesday, February 10th.  

Guest Speaker: Tom Brennan - Spokesperson & Master Artisan at Waterford Crystal

Like his father, Tom Brennan was born in Waterford City, Ireland and fulfilled a lifelong dream of working for Waterford Crystal.  From a young age, Tom aspired to follow in his father Leo's footsteps, by participating in the 200+ year tradition of fine crystal craftsmanship. Tom's career with Waterford Crystal began with his apprenticeship in 1986, where he mastered the art of crystal glass blowing. 

Today, as Spokesperson & Master Artisan, Tom’s craft comes to life as he educates and inspires Waterford consumers.  One of his key roles is serving as spokesperson for the prestigious Waterford Crystal Times Square Ball, viewed by millions of people worldwide as they ring in the New Year. 

From Master Craftsman to Brand Ambassador, Tom’s journey is a reflection of his unrivaled passion for Irish heritage, his hometown, and Waterford Crystal.
