T.G. "Tommy" Joffrion was born in 1959 and raised in Donaldsonville, Louisiana. In 1983 he began his career with the Louisiana State Police assigned to Troop A in Baton Rouge. In addition to patrol duties, he was a member of the State Police SWAT team and in 1991 received the prestigious "Trooper of the Year" award. He retired from the department as the Executive Officer at Troop A. He is married to the former Holly Talbot and is the father of four children: Laney, Justin, Morgan, and Peyton. He continues to live across the street from the home where he was raised, on the banks of Bayou Lafourche. Hunting, fishing, and the greatest game ever invented, golf, are his pastimes. In his later years, his three grandchildren have broken through the armor surrounding his heart.
