About Tom
The word Claddagh (pronounced Klah-duh) is Gaelic in origin and means beach or shore. A beach will bring different images to your mind based on your experiences. It could symbolize a launching point or the completion of an undertaking. For Claddagh, LLC, this is meaningful as we work with various people that have distinct goals. Some people are very clear on their goals and others need help defining an end point. We would like to hear your story so we can better understand your journey and desired destination.
