Master Thomas Georgion was raised in Southern California, and as a youth he took every advantage of the perfect weather conditions in the San Diego area. From playing army in the canyons around his home to playing football at the neighborhood park, sports and outdoor games were a way of life. As Master Georgion grew older the emphasis changed to cross country running and surfing. Competing in local surfing events and lettering in high school cross-country running completed his high school years.
