HOME/ ABOUT/ SHIPMENT TRACKING/ FUEL SURCHARGE/ CONTACT Staff Tom and Lisa Bartholomew Owners Tom and Lisa started Action Courier in 1980 out of the basement of their house. Tom, who is a Purple Heart Vietnam Veteran, started off with just a Jeep Wagoneer to do pick-up and deliveries then growing into a Ford Econoline van within the first year. The business continued growing larger with shipments growing in size and the courier in the name didn't fit like it did when they started. Today they are anxiously awaiting retirement.

After several years there he moved into the position of Evening Dispatcher, then Senior Dispatcher, General Manager and then Vice President of Operations.

He currently makes lots of colorful pictures to put around the office and pushes the copy button on the copier for all. He helps his Papa (Tom) steer the forklift around the freight in the warehouse. One day he hopes to be the President of Action Courier, a fireman, or a construction worker.
