Thomas Alan Schmitz, the third child of Robert and Carol (Sebens) Schmitz, was born in Minneapolis, MN, on May 22, 1968.  The family lived in Brooklyn Center, MN, Lemmon, SD, Milnor, ND, and later moved to Fargo, where Tom graduated from Fargo South High School in 1986.  Tom, over time, attended NDSU School of Pharmacy, where he received his doctor of pharmacy in 2005.
