Tom Horgen
Assistant Managing Editor/Audience
Tom’s worn many hats at the Star Tribune, including stints as a features editor, video personality, arts writer and nightlife scene chronicler. A lifelong Minnesotan, Horgen lives in St. Paul with his wife and two young children. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in film studies. He only watches children's movies these days (because he has two young children). But one day he hopes to once again watch movies that do not contain cute, talking animals.
