About Me

Tom Kleese helps students see and realize their potential, aiming to make college planning fun, exciting, and healthy for the whole family. He started OnCampus College Planning more than 15 years ago, helping thousands of high schoolers improve their ACT scores and find their way to what he calls the 'University of You.'

A career educator and coach, Tom taught high school and coached football for five years and taught with the University of Wisconsin System for over a decade, earning the Alliant Energy Underkofler Excellence in Teaching Award. A fan of the movie Miracle, he lives by Herb Brooks' line that great moments are born from great opportunity — and tells his younger self not to let fear of embarrassment hold him back from going all in.
