Tom Wolfson

Producer/Art Director/Technical Director

​

A lifetime of photographic experience jammed into 20 short years. Tom started with the idea of traveling to the far off reaches of the planet and taking images of the lives he encountered. Reality set in, he came back to LA and got to work, carried a lot of gear and loaded a lot of film. Tom spent 23 years primarily focused on photographing for the $22 billion toy business. In 2008 he moved into a new role as a Producer of Medical education. Live Conferences, Web Streams, Online Video and Podcasts are what will change the face of Medical Education. EM:RAP is out in front and proudly leading the way with their own style. Always informative and entertaining and occasionally wacky. The style is a bit outside the typical medical education available. The future of education is rapidly moving to new areas and Tom is very excited to be a part of that journey.

 

Tom is currently happy to have a Tesla in the driveway and is looking forward to adding to his electric fleet soon.

Robert Rosenbloom, M.D., FACEP, FAAEM

Assistant Clinical Professor UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine 

​

 

Robert was drawn to Tesla and the world of renewable energy from a public health and environmental sustainability perspective.  Long a car enthusiast, they were a conflict for him, fun, intriguing but dirty and smelly. He's owned many from guzzlers like his Shelby Mustang 500GT KR, a Trans AM and a 1971 Pantera, to a series of MGs (A, B, B GT) to a classic 1929 Willy's Knight sedan. Ever enjoying the driving experience, add tail pipe-free emissions and Tesla became a dream come true. With his 2012 deposit on a Model S, Robert roared down the rabbit hole of EV enthusiasm. He’s on his 3rd Tesla, a 2020 Model 3 FSD and was an early customer of Solar City.  He’s toured the Tesla Factory more than a handful of times and Gigafactory-1 too, enriching his perspective for the podcast. He serves on the Tesla Owner’s Club, Los Angeles Board of Directors and encourages you to join your local club, https://www.tesla.com/support/ownersclub.
