My name is Thomas A. Roll (call me Tom).  I have been married for 52 years and have two sons and two grandchildren.  I am running for the office of Ohio State Representative for the 30th District  in Hamilton County as an independent candidate.

I graduated from Oak Hills High School in 1969.  In 1971, I was drafted and then enlisted in the United States Army and served at the White Sands Missile Range in Southern New Mexico as a meteorological observationist until my honorable discharge in 1974.  Upon discharge, I attended the University of Cincinnati on the G.I. Bill where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy.  As a Registered Pharmacist of the State of Ohio, I worked one year at Our Lady of Mercy Hospital in Mariemont.  The remaining 35 years of my career were spent at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati in both inpatient and outpatient settings.  On Feb. 3, 2017, I retired from the profession of pharmacy.

My hobbies include music, fishing, and gardening.
