CHAIRMAN & FOUNDER

Tom Peterson is a Senior Vice President at Merrill Lynch in Cottonwood, Utah. Tom has been a financial advisor for 40 years. In 2006 Tom lost his first wife, Roma, to ovarian cancer. After many years of wanting to raise funds in her honor, in 2014 Tom and his daughter Brooke founded the Cancierge Foundation. Tom lives in Holladay with his wife, Cynthia, and together they have six children.

Dr. Chandramouli has been a practicing Oncologist & Hematologist in Salt Lake City for nearly 20 years. Throughout his career, he has seen the impact cancer and cancer-treatment has had on our friends and family, not only with symptoms and side effects but also the emotional-psychological, financial and family toll on a day-to-day basis. He joined with Tom Peterson to help found the Cancierge Foundation at its inception, with the goal of helping our friends and family in the community with the simple needs that we all take for granted, such as transportation to treatment visits. He previously served on the board of the Quality of Life Community, been adjunct clinical faculty for University of Utah School of Medicine, current adjunct clinical faculty at Rocky Vista University, an advisory board member and clinical reviewer for the ONCOLOGY journal, past-president of the Society of Utah Medical Oncologist and current president of Utah Cancer Specialists.

Dan Murray is founder and CEO of Onkos/Biometric Dashboard. Dan's wife, Marie, fought a courageous 10 year battle with breast cancer and passed away in 2016. While Dan and his wife were blessed with plenty of support during Marie's illness, he was impacted by the hardships endured by other patients going through treatment and was searching for an effective outlet to help. Dan lives in Salt Lake raising his teenage daughter.

His passion for the Cancierge Foundation stems from his parents’ battles with cancer and the difficulty they both had getting to their treatments regularly—Ben’s father didn’t have a steady means of transportation and, after he passed away, his mother was also diagnosed with cancer and struggled to juggle her treatments, raise her two boys and run her business. Ben also serves on the Board of Trustees for Survivor Wellness (formerly Cancer Wellness House) to help provide free therapeutic treatments, psychological support and sense of community for families afflicted by loved ones with cancer; Survivor Wellness is a benefactor of the Cancierge Foundation.
