By day, Tom practices law for the US Department of Justice; by night, Tom practices astronomy in the north Atlanta suburbs. Between court appearances and stargazing sessions, he delights in delivering presentations on NASA‘s space exploration missions and discoveries, with particular emphasis on NASA’s crewed space flight programs past and present as well as the Hubble and Webb space telescopes. Not a scientist himself, Tom uses his courtroom skills to distill complex information into compelling narratives about the astonishing science and the remarkable scientists behind NASA’s amazing accomplishments. Tom’s graphically-intensive presentations, accented by his scale model collection, are both accessible and entertaining, proving that you don’t need a technical background to appreciate NASA’s achievements -- all you need is a little curiosity and a healthy sense of wonder.
