Meet the Team of TomKings Puppies

TomKings Puppies started as a small family business founded by two brothers, Geri and Tom more than ten years ago. As the demand for TomKings Frenchies has suddenly increased the last couple of years, the team needed to grow as well. Last year, we released a short documentary in which we briefly introduced all the colleagues who work on creating happy Frenchie families every day. This time, we decided to reveal some more about everyone: meet the team of TomKings Puppies!

TomKings Tom and Sandra

Tom: “I have loved caring for animals since I was very young. I have a degree in animal breeding and always dreamt of living on a huge farm surrounded by a lot of animals. So, it was an obvious move to start TomKings with my brother.”

Sandra: “When I was a little girl, I spent a lot of time with my mom’s friend who was a Frenchie breeder and even attended dog shows with her. So, my love for French Bulldogs stems from a very early age.”

Sandra: “We’ve been together for 6 years and agreed right from the start that neither of us could imagine life without having dogs in it. Since then, we do what we love every day: our hobby which is our job at the same time. Tom oversees the whole breeding process and I help with the puppies as well as answer our Frenchie parents’ questions.”

Tom: “What we love most about breeding Frenchies is being able to give all that joy and love that we receive from them to other people day by day. We are always waiting for the photos and videos with the new families. If we had to start all over, this would be the path we would choose again.”

TomKings Geri

“I was a professional freestyle wrestler for 25 years, my best result being a 7th place at the Beijing Olympics. I majored in economy and studied in Iowa for half a year.⁠ More than 10 years ago I fell in love with French Bulldogs together with my brother Tom, which hasn’t changed ever since. ⁠

I manage the team of TomKings and consider every puppy, adopter and colleague my family. I work every day to only have satisfied customers, happy and healthy puppies and successful and enthusiastic colleagues.⁠

I love playing table tennis with my colleagues and traveling with my wife Nori and my daughter Elza.⁠ The happiest moment of my day is when we receive positive feedbacks from the adopters!”

TomKings Tony

“I studied Physical Education and Geography at Teacher Training College, during which time I spent 10 years at our local rowing club. During our active years I became national champion several times with different crews.⁠ When I finished my college and rowing career I moved to the UK where I lived for nearly 10 years, running several successful businesses.⁠

I met Geri and Tom 7 years ago and I was fascinated by their passion for French Bulldogs. I visited them many times and we quickly became friends.⁠ When I had the opportunity to join their family business I immediately said yes.

I have been helping with customer service and my goal is to find the most loving homes for our beautiful fur babies. I am happy to answer all inquiries through calls or messages!

TomKings Toby

“I live in the beautiful Oregon countryside with my wife and 5 children, on a hobby-ranch of 7 acres. We have 2 Frenchie Pups that have become our obsession! Our male Frenchie, Hank, is my best buddy who travels everywhere with me in my truck and our TomKings female, Dolly, is our darling little girl and homebody who keeps our home anchored in laughter and smiles.

I achieved my Bachelors Degree in Business Management, two Master’s Degrees, one in Business Administration and one in Organizational Leadership, and a diploma from MIT for Business Implications of Artificial Intelligence. I spent 25 years in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device space before retiring to run my own Small Business Consulting company and eventually being asked to join the TomKings Family.

My passion for Frenchies comes from my lifelong love of animals from dogs to horses, and the most important part of my role with TomKings is to connect families with their dream Frenchie Puppy that best fits their needs and lifestyles in order to bring as much joy, love and happiness that we receive from ours on a daily basis. Health, joy and happiness are my mission and I truly look forward to assisting you in your journey to finding your forever Frenchies!”

TomKings Dan

“I majored in History and studied Commerce and Marketing as well. Then I spent several years around Europe playing American Football topping it with the privilege to be captain of the National Team.

I met Geri in 2020 and was impressed by the quality of the company, and the enthusiasm towards lovable Frenchies thus elevating the future adopter’s life and spreading joy. It was a no-brainer to join, since then I’ve been helping with customer service amongst other fields.

It is rare to find such great people and their quality shows in their work and in their honest motivation to provide healthy and happy Frenchies to the adopters.”

TomKings Adri

“I majored in English Language and Literature and then studied English teaching but I soon realized that it’s not what I’m dreaming of. Being an animal-lover, I always imagined a profession which is related to them in some ways. As I also love communicating with people, I can safely say that when I joined the team of TomKings a year ago, my dream came true. ⁠

I answer inquiries about our puppies and make Instagram stories to brighten the days of our followers. Several months ago, I started organizing TomKings Frenchie meet ups too. These events aim to build a stronger link between our Frenchie Parents and they also provide a great opportunity for our Frenchies to make new friends.

I also manage our Facebook group which is called the TomKings Frenchie Family. I love organizing contests in it and my heart always melts when I see videos of our Frenchie Parents about their first happy moments with their furry babies.”

TomKings Bea

“I majored in English Language and Literature and spent 8 months near London working as an au pair. I never thought that I’d find a job which would unite my love for animals and the English language until December 2020 when I joined the team of TomKings Puppies.

Most of the time I answer inquiries about our puppies and forward our Frenchie parents’ questions to our vet and our experts Sandra and Tom. Last year, I started writing blog posts for our website, which I enjoy doing a lot! I always try to find the most interesting topics for present and future Frenchie parents, and educate them about this amazing breed with Sandra’s help.

I completely fell in love with Frenchies and I consider myself very lucky to be part of this big Family. The highlight of my days is when I see the happy parents’ posts about their puppies in our Facebook group!”

TomKings Marko

“At TomKings I am responsible for finding loving families for these wonderful babies. Outside of work, I am passionate about strength training and have competed in powerlifting for years, I own world and European champion titles. I believe that fitness and personal growth are essential to overall well-being, and I am committed to pushing myself to new limits both in and out of the gym.

My role in the company involves getting to know the puppies and families, understanding their individual personalities and needs, so that I can match them with each other. I believe that every dog deserves a loving home, and I am passionate about finding the right fit for both the puppy and the family. I am dedicated to making sure that the adoption process is smooth and stress-free for both sides.

I am grateful for the experiences and opportunities that my job and my athletic pursuits have given me. It’s a rewarding experience to see people find their perfect Frenchie and making it happen. Working with French Bulldogs has been a truly fulfilling experience, and I look forward to continuing to connect our babies with loving families.”

TomKings Vivienne

“After graduating from high school, I moved to the UK where I completed a 3-year college program in Travel and Tourism Business Management. I gained some really valuable experiences over these years. Additionally, I worked as a manager in a seaside hotel, which gave me an early taste of a business and team-centered lifestyle. That was a huge opportunity but also a significant challenge and responsibility at the same time.

Since I was 19, I’ve been traveling extensively around the world, giving me the chance to learn about different cultures and traditions. Most of our dogs find loving families in America, which is why working at TomKings was such a huge motivation for me. It had always been my childhood dream to go to America, which finally came true in 2017, and I already can’t wait to go back. I loved every minute of it!

Pets have been part of my life since I was born, and I’ve always adored each and every one of them. Observing their different personalities and the love they provide has been a priceless experience. So, it was a no-brainer for me to join TomKings, where my main goal is to help everyone work together as a well-coordinated, real “super team” on a daily basis. Our goal is the same: to give healthy and beautiful French Bulldogs to the best families around the world!”

TomKings Nelli

“I’ve been a proud member of the TomKings team since 2023. Being a lifelong dog enthusiast, joining the TomKings team brought immense joy to my heart since I get to share my love for dogs with all of you. Ethical breeding has always been a passion of mine, and it’s an extra delight that I get to work with such an amazing team, helping people find their perfect furry companions and savor the daily joys of Frenchie love.

Another cause close to my heart is dog therapy. Toblerone, my certified therapy dog, and I regularly visit nursing homes and schools to brighten the days of residents and children. The therapy dog training process is incredibly rigorous and taught me so much about dog training and behavior. Because of this, I’m always happy to support our Frenchie parents with training tips and advice to help them raise happy, well-behaved pups.”

TomKings Vanda

“My job at TomKings is making sure that each of our puppies arrive safely and smoothly to their forever home, regardless of the destination.
After high school, I moved to the UK to study psychology, a field that’s still close to my heart and helps me every day in my work, as I communicate with families from all over the world. Helping people feel supported, informed and excited during this special journey is something I truly enjoy.

Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals and it was my grandma who passed on her love of horseback riding to me and my sister, which I still practice regularly. The thing that relaxes me most is being outdoors, in nature, surrounded by animals. That’s where I feel most at ease.
I’m so happy to be part of a team where I get to combine all the things I love and I can make meaningful connections across the globe.”

TomKings Christie

“My name is Christie. I’m an American-Hungarian girl who lived half her life in Bradenton, FL, the other half in Budapest. Animals have always been an enormous part of my life. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been dreaming of becoming a veterinarian, that’s how deep my love for animals ran. I currently have 3 fur-babies myself and I can’t imagine a life without them! 

I’m a Frenchie Expert and Health Consultant here at Tomkings. I always wanted to work close with animals & when I noticed the world renowned French Bulldog Kennel Tomkings was hiring; I couldn’t stay away! I’m grateful I get to be part of such a wonderful family.”

TomKings Lilla

“I’m Lilla, and I’m a Marketing Assistant here at TomKings. I recently graduated with a degree in Commerce and Marketing, and I joined TomKings right after finishing university. I’ve always loved dogs, and I still remember how happy I was when we got our own puppy. That moment stayed with me, and now it feels amazing to help others experience the same joy by guiding them to find their perfect furry companion.

At TomKings, I keep in touch with our TomKings Frenchie Family members, making sure they always feel supported and informed throughout their journey with us. And you might even see some of my posts on Instagram or Facebook too, adorable puppy pictures, updates from our community, or even some funny memes. But what I secretly love most about my job is that watching cute puppy videos is actually part of my daily tasks!”

TomKings Norbert

“Hi, I’m Norbert. I’m the guy who makes sure all technical things behave just as their creator intended. My work ranges from fixing esoterical technical glitches to spending days on developing automations that save the team a couple of minutes. I studied Computer Science and even co-authored a paper on the use of AI in criminology while at the University of Szeged (yes, I’ve seen some things).

I’ve always had a soft spot for both solving tricky tech problems and doing creative, design-y stuff, because why choose just one headache when you can have two? I’m also a lifelong dog person and a certified puppy enthusiast, so getting to make both puppies *and* people happy at work feels like winning the profession lottery.

And honestly, as much as I love being digitally connected with all our adorable pups, nothing beats spending the day with such a lovely and driven team.”
