Tom Bailey, an outdoorsman and seasoned business broker, brings a unique blend of adventure and business insight. Growing up on a farm instilled a love for the outdoors, leading him to kayak the entire Missouri River from Montana to the Gulf of Mexico. This passion eventually lead him to purchase an kayak outfitter becoming KC Kayak LLC, which he operates on the Missouri River in Parkville on weekends.
Tom holds a degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Missouri at Rolla and an Executive Program from Washington University in St. Louis. His analytical skills and business knowledge have been instrumental in his success as a business broker. He enjoys exploring different businesses and uncovering their complexities, ultimately helping business owners understand market valuations and transitioning businesses to their next owner.

50 Things Every Rotarian Should Know about Rotary
by Steve Garret, District Governor 1994-95, District 5300
#3 - Rotary's Wheel Emblem
A wheel has been the symbol of Rotary since our earliest days. The first design was made by Chicago Rotarian Montague Bear, an engraver who drew a simple wagon wheel, with a few lines to show dust and motion. The wheel was said to illustrate "Civilization and Movement." Most of the early clubs had some form of wagon wheel on their publications and letterheads. Finally, in 1922, it was decided that all Rotary clubs should adopt a single design as the exclusive emblem of Rotarians. Thus, in 1923, the present gear wheel, with 24 cogs and six spokes was adopted by the "Rotary International Association." A group of engineers advised that the geared wheel was mechanically unsound and would not work without a "keyway" in the center of the gear to attach it to a power shaft. So, in 1923 the keyway was added and the design which we now know was formally adopted as the official Rotary International emblem.
