For "Tommy Duck", Decoy Carving is a Healthy Stress Reliever from Work as a NJ Police Corporal
Thomas "Tommy Duck" Lewis, who began carving wooden objects as a very young boy, today is an award-winning decoy artist. He creates wooden decoys as well as nautical folk art from his studio near the Delaware River in New Jersey. He carves decoys in both the Delaware River and Barnegat Bay traditions.
Lewis has volunteered or been employed as a first responder for more than 35 years; today he is a corporal in the Moorestown Township Police Department.
Lewis says carving is a healthy outlet for relieving the stress that so often comes with working in law enforcement. In addition to spending time in nature and finding a hobby, he encourages anyone who is struggling with mental health challenges to seek professional therapy.
