An authorized aircraft maintenance technician, Thomas "Tom" Stefkovich works for Roth Aerial Spraying, Inc., where he ensures the aircraft complies with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. When he isn't working, Thomas Stefkovich enjoys reading historical fiction novels. His favorite author is Erik Larson.A New York Times' best-selling author, Larson has written seven historical fiction novels, one of which is entitled, In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin. The popular book spent 15 weeks as No. 1 on the Times' list of bestsellers and is now being adapted for the big screen. Joe Wright, who has directed historical features such as Anna Karenina and Pride and Prejudice, is in the final negotiations to direct In the Garden of Beasts. Larson lent credibility to this report in a tweet in which he expressed joy that Wright was attached to the project.While it isn't official, it has long been rumored that Tom Hanks will play the lead role of William E. Dodd, a Chicago professor who was sent to Germany in 1933 as an American ambassador. Hanks, who has been attached to In the Garden of Beasts since its film rights were picked up in 2011, is also expected to produce the movie.
Based in Milford, Nebraska, Thomas “Tom” Stefkovich is an aircraft mechanic who led Rigid Metal and Roofing, and guided a construction company that provided roof replacement solutions to diverse clients. A camping enthusiast, Thomas Stefkovich enjoys spending time in nature and is experienced in protecting food from various animals that attempt to scavenge and forage. When it comes to large predators such as bears, it's suggested to tie food up in a dry bag hoisted with parachute cord over a tree’s sturdy branch. At an ideal branch height of 20 feet, the bag can be raised to a point in the air where bears, as well as adept tree climbers such as squirrels, will have a challenging time reaching it. Bear canisters are required in backcountry regions in some national parks, such as Yellowstone and Grand Teton. The portable, hard-sided lockers are designed to fit comfortably within a backpack and are virtually bear proof. With weight a major factor, it might also be worth investing in next generation bear-proof bags made from lightweight, bulletproof Spectra fabric. Another protective measure worth considering is bear spray, which will repel bears from the campsite in a great majority of cases where they pose a threat to food supply and camper health.
