Tom started teaching in college, and polished his speaking and teaching style at the prestigious Department of Defense Computer Institute in Washington DC. Because many of the students were Admirals, Generals and supergrade civilian government executives, teachers were only allowed into classrooms after rigorous dry-runs and practice lectures. But that made it possible for him to teach, with confidence, every FBI ‘Special Agent in Charge’ in the U.S. about computer security, conduct a one-on-one course on computer telecommunications for the general in charge of the Army Communication Command, lecture on stuff we can’t talk about for senior officials at the CIA and NSA, and teach hundreds of students about systems analysis, telecommunication, security and privacy, and information management for senior executives.

Later, as one of the senior scientists for a computer company, Tom’s team of brilliant hardware and software developers conceived and tested the first U.S. home information service that used a TV and telephone to allow folks to download news, check out library books, pay bills, and look up articles in the first electronc encyclopedia. All this, of course, before personal computers and the internet. The project was internationally recognized and he made over 80 formal presentations on the project and its results.

As part of that research Tom became a member of the board of a national program on the use computers in education and delivered testimony on the topic at a congressional hearing, and later spoke at a White House conference.

Recently, Tom was selected as a volunteer for the NASA Solar System Ambassador program—although he preferred to call himself as a Space Evangelist. As part of that role he conceived, prepared and presented a walking tour of the solar system that allowed kids (and adults) to better appreciate the dimensions of space.

Both Kate and Tom have been involved in dozens of TV programs and radio shows and are comfortable “in the spotlight.” They understand sound-bites, and why you shouldn’t wear white or checkered patterns.
