Pastor Tom was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up just out side of there in the town of Federal Way where he was very active in his Presbyterian Church. 

At the end of high school, Tom went into the US Navy where he became part of the Serviceman’s Center, an outreach ministry of the Southern Baptist Church in San Diego.  After leaving the military, he headed to Grand Rapids Michigan where he became a member in the Congregational Church and attended the Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music. 

Being motivated by his aunt and mother, Tom soon left the school and bounced from church to church, landing in Kalispell, Montana.  It was here that God used Tom for the first time to minister to others.  Eventually Tom came back to Washington and, on his way, the Lord spoke to him in a vision.  God told him that he would be a servant unto His people. 

Soon Tom met his lovely wife, Nancy and together they moved to Pahrump, Nevada.  Two weeks later the Lord sent His vision again and they began to lead several Bible studies.  Tom became a lay chaplain and not long after, the vision came for the third time.  Following God’s directions they moved to another church, where he was ordained and served for 3 years as an Associate Pastor before starting Truth In Life Ministries International.  Tom and Nancy have spent much of their time traveling and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ to any and all who’ll listen along the way. Tom is now Lead Pastor of Truth In Life Ministries & Church and co-founder of the Truth In Life School of Ministry, both in Pahrump Nevada.
