Featured in the June 2025 Issue:
While his dad was building
the jewelry business, Duma’s mother
Helen had sold her bridal business
and was raising young Tommy
Duma. Part of that upbringing involved
a Briggs & Stratton-powered
minibike which Duma didn’t have
the strength to start with the pull
rope, so his parents got him a Honda
with a kick starter.
Duma later kick-started a
racing career that led him to the
National Expert level of flat track
racing during one of its most competitive
eras and his induction
into the Ohio Motorsports Hall of
Fame. Injury led him to retire, but
he couldn’t stay away from motorcycles.
Today, the business he inherited,
Thom Duma Fine Jewelers,
is an official partner of MotoAmerica
and American Flat Track and
makes the Championship rings
and pendants for Moto America title-
winners. Duma is also a founder
and board member of Back On
Track, the MotoAmerica and AFT
affiliated charity dedicated to helping
injured racers.
