We're really excited to announce two more great hires who are joining our team at The Points Guy.

Tom Grahsler, an award-winning digital video producer, will be overseeing video operations and strategy for TPG. And Clint Henderson, who has worked for ABC News, Fox and MSNBC, is our new senior news editor, running our newsroom and covering breaking stories.

"Tom and Clint are just the latest examples of TPG looking for the best and brightest folks in the travel world," said TPG founder and CEO Brian Kelly. "Having them on our team is going to push us to new heights, bringing our readers the latest travel deals, reviews and behind-the-scenes access."

Tom is a Philadelphia native and Temple alumnus, and his work has appeared on Discovery, Time, Vice, Animal Planet and National Geographic. He joins us from Travel + Leisure magazine, where he shot in over 20 countries under conditions ranging from the Arctic Circle to the Peruvian rainforest.

We plan to get Tom into some great #AvGeek sites soon to add to his list of challenging and unexpected settings. He's also an avid motorcycle enthusiast and fierce Barça supporter.
