JUST KIDDING! The guys on the left and right are “The Blues Brother’s from Universal Studios, Florida they both have
day jobs. The one in the center is Thomas "TOM" Gunter the host for the evening and better know to the
International business world as “TOM” CEO and owner of Billboard Brokers of America, LLC., the founder of several
successful businesses and mentor to many more.
Tom resides in Florida with his beautiful wife Angela and has four beautiful daughters and three sons.
Gunter started as an apprentice in an outdoor advertising business in 1960, by the end of the third year, with less
than a hundred dollars in his pocket, he said his goodbye’s to his employer and open the doors to his own outdoor
advertising company. When his former employer was asked about Gunter opening his own business?” He replied
“How much can one man do?”
Never under estimate the power of one. Over the next 3 years Gunter would build and sell his first million dollar
business.
It took him two years to build and sell the second million dollar business. Over the following years he would
continue to build, buy and sell outdoor adverting companies and plants across American from coast to coast. Over
the past 45 years he has had the privilege and opportunity to work with some of the largest and best know names in
the outdoor advertising industry, many would become the entrepreneurs that would shape the outdoor advertising
industry as we know it today.
It was not all work along the way; Gunter had the opportunity to play out many different roles along his road to
success as he ventured into politics, local, state and national, working with legislators, governors and finally the
President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. In the mid 80's Gunter would serve on several committees for the
Regan Administration.
In the spring of 1989, Hollywood tracked him down through a mutual friend in Washington D.C., one of the movie
industries most noted producer’s Richard Zanuck was producing a new film for distribution through Warner
Brothers. Zanuck's art director asked Tom on behalf of Mr. Zanuck if he would consider producing the billboards for
upcoming 1940’s movie named “Driving Miss Daisy”. Gunter accepted, by the following year “Driving Miss Daisy"
would win three Academy Awards and become “Best Picture of The Year”.
Gunter was quickly adopted into the Hollywood circle by studios and producers, "Driving Miss Daisy" had open a new
door, Gunter would soon build his own film and television production company and develop a close bond with the
movie and television industry, a bond that continues until this day. Back home in Florida he had been elected
president of “The Florida Motion Picture and Television Guild” where he would serve three consecutive terms. By
the end of third year Gunter stepped down as president to spend more time with his growing family and focus his
attention on the increasing demands of his growing outdoor advertising business.
After leaving Hollywood to the dreams of others, he continued building his outdoor adverting company expanding
into other venues of the outdoor industry while managing and helping other outdoor advertising industry
entrepreneurs. Tom’s the kind of guy that will go out of his way to help almost anyone who will listen. One of Tom's
favorite relatives was “Will Rogers” who once said “I never met a man I did not like”, with a smile on his face Tom
said he did not completely agree, he said "Apparently Will did not meet some of the people I met (lol)." but none
the less he did liked Will Rogers they both shared the same great grandfather, John Gunter.
One of Tom's favorite writings he associated himself with was written by the famous American writer Robert Frost, it
was a poem, “The Road Not Taken”. The two books that most influenced his formative business years was “The
Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale and “Think and Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill and
inspired by Andrew Carnegie.
While building his own reputation and place in the outdoor industry, he touched the lives of many average American
businessmen and women along the way, many who listened and later became successful business entrepreneurs
joining him on "The Road Not Taken".
