Seeking Adventure, Finding Home.

An ever-probing mind propelled Tom to significant accomplishments in twenty-two countries on five continents via four distinctly different careers: Episcopal priest to expatriate communities in Columbia, and facilitating racially integrated leadership workshops during apartheid in South Africa; an inter-organizational systems Ph.D. and state Commissioner of Education; a World Bank developer of educational programs in several third world countries; and, as a vigorous elder, an organic gardener and home renovation carpenter.

But it was Tom's ever-questing heart that impelled him finally to a perspective of his life as an abiding search for Home-within himself. That search led him far from his origins, drove him to seek new experiences and challenges, and delivered him in old age to the rigorously honest self-assessment of this plain-spoken memoir.

In these pages, you will encounter a man who believes in making one's life count, who is committed to a humble knowing of self, and who loves the world. Join him here as he opens to the grace of finding Home.
