About Tom
I am a connsumate explorer, love nature and the great outdoors. I am fascinated by the Earth, moon, stars and the universe and all the physics that went into creating them. Having travelled around the world, I have climbed some of the tallest mountains on four continents, been a former NASA rocket scientist for 25 years, and explored some of the world's most ancient and intriguing archeological sites. I enjoy tropical islands, new experiences, cultural immersion, and good conversationalists (I love to talk and have a good time!) Philosophy and human history are passions of mine. I am blessed to have a rich and fulfilling life surrounded by people who love me and whom I love even more. My greatest blessings have been the strong women in my life, namely my grandmother Lucy Mae (who went to be with God in 2002), my Mother Dolly and the love of my life and my wife, Sheila. I even have the best dog in the world, Max!
