About Tom:
I have had a lifelong passion for ancient and modern history as well as contemporary political science. I am a fitness enthusiast and currently learning to speak German and play the guitar. Without question, the best song of all time is Bob Dylan's Girl from the North Country. I have been truly blessed by God to have a wonderful wife, Shannon, and a young son, Liam. We are expecting our daughter, Adelynne, in February 2009.
