St. Charles, Missouri
The future is in our hands.
I’m Tommy Holstein. I make videos, organize neighbors, and show up at city hall.

Ran for Congress in Missouri’s 3rd District.
Made videos for three St. Charles County candidates. All three won.
Built a video production company in St. Charles.
Husband to Emily. Dad to Loey.
Start here
Two minutes. That’s the pitch.
Who I am, what I’m working on, and why I think showing up still works.
What I’m working on
The work so far.
Three things I’ve put real hours into. Proof first. Promises later.
The 2026 campaigns
I ran for Congress in MO-3 and lost the primary. Along the way I made videos on privacy, local candidates and what was on the ballot.
VideoPunk
The video production company I built in St. Charles, and what running a small business here has taught me.
Youth and leadership
Destination Imagination, Delta Tau Delta and LeaderShape. Helping people learn to solve their own problems.

About
Wright City kid. St. Charles dad.
I grew up in Wright City, studied Interactive Media Design at Lindenwood, and started VideoPunk, a video production company in St. Charles.
I live here with my wife, Emily, and our daughter, Loey. I serve on the Missouri Destination Imagination board, advise the Delta Tau Delta chapter at Lindenwood, and sit on Lindenwood’s Alumni Advisory Council. In 2026 I ran for Congress. I’m not done.
