Tom is the Director and Founder of Creation Studies Institute (CSI), a national creation ministry whose mission is to reach the church community with the truths of Creation, and also founder of The Creation Discovery Museum. He is an author, teacher and a sought after speaker. Tom has been recognized as an award winning science teacher who has taught all grade levels including college.

Tom has a strong academic background in Chemistry and he has taught Chemistry and Physics, for over 30 years, in both public and parochial schools. He also holds a Masters degree in Education from Florida Atlantic University. Tom was a dedicated and deceived evolutionist but he is now a creationist, because of what Jesus Christ did for him. He has first-hand knowledge of how the Creation Message has a dramatic impact on lives. He is committed to break down those barriers in other people’s lives and to fill believers with the knowledge that will allow them to do the same. It is Tom’s desire to use his knowledge in Science to show others that Faith and Science DO mix, that they complement one another in a beautiful symbiotic relationship. Tom has published an easy-to-understand book entitled, “Evidence for Creation,” that attests to this very truth. He has also written the book, “Evolution’s Fatal Fruit: How Darwin’s Tree of Life Brought Death to Millions,” which shows how through the theory of evolution, Darwin lied to the world and caused millions to lose focus as to our origin, and the love of our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ.
