My Roots

The End

My name is Thomas McPherson. Thomas means “twin”

Thomas is ranked 57th in most common names, and 1 in 275 people

have my name.

I was born on December 6, 1995. It was in Saint Joseph’s Hospital, in Denver Colorado. My mom told me that it took all day for me to be born. She said I “procrastinated like I always do”. I was actually supposed to be born around December 20th, but the doctors insisted that my mother be induced and I be born early.

According to my different sides of my family, I am actually half Irish, half Scottish.
