This site is dedicated to the memory of Walter Thomas Osborn — born in Aspen, Colorado, and lost to ALS at thirty-two.

Tom lived a very full life and died far too soon. He grew up skiing Snowmass, founded InfiNet Consulting at twenty-six, traveled the world, and was a brother and friend to many.

We miss you, Tom.


Aspen, where it all began

Tom was born in Aspen and learned to ski at eight. The mountains were his home.

Salt water and warm places

For all the snow he grew up on, Tom loved the tropics — warm water, bare feet, and long days with the people he loved.
