Tommy Simmons is a poker player and advice columnist from Austin, TX. Tommy has written several books including YOU Have to Love YOU First! and his 1997 best seller Screaming is OK.

As mandated by the State of Texas, Tommy must complete 970 hours of lecturing around the country. In 1985 Tommy began what would end up to be a 4 year stay at the Huntsville State Penitentiary in Huntsville, TX. This was a result of an incident that occured at the Busy Beez Afterschool Child Daycare center where he was working as a volunteer yoga instructor. The details of this incident have been sealed by the State of Texas. While in prison, Tommy faced much adversity. Horrible and devistating adversity. However, with the help of a plastic surgeon and many prison psychiatrists Tommy overcame this adversity and faced his fears.
