Tom was born in Southern Germany and after a time in a German Monastery set out to look for a church he could join that followed closely what Jesus Christ established on earth. Finally finding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and joining at almost 20 years old, he served his native country in the military and then his new church as a full time missionary. Thomas then moved to the states where he found his wonderful wife Melody and together, they enjoy having 9 kids and about 11 grandkids (feels like someone is always pregnant, so the number is like a stock-ticker upwards). Thomas owns his own business - Marketing Success Coaches where he helps other businesses become successful. He currently serves as the Bishop of the Countryside Ward in the Tucson West Stake of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints.
