Thomas Bollier (1947- ) is a neurologist, philanthropist, and father of two. He was the first neurologist to perform brain surgery on a civilian watercraft. He operates out of a private clinic in Nova Scotia. He has roots in the U.S.; he lived in Detroit as a child and attended Harvard Medical School where he graduated in 1974. He then moved to Toronto for 15 years before returning to Nova Scotia. In 1999 he performed brain surgery on a boat in a publicized event demonstrating the advanced techniques and decreased risk involved with brain surgery. He gives $100,000 dollars annually to various children's hospitals and HIV/AIDs research. He is rumored to be good friends with prominent News Anchor Keith Olbermann.
