Tommy was raised in the deep East Texas woods, aka Palestine, Texas. From an early age, Tommy knew he wanted to be a youth ministry. Eventually, he realized that he couldn't be a whole youth ministry and settled with being a youth minister. After getting his feet wet in the U.S. Army via SERE School, he quickly fought his way to the Youth Minister position at First Baptist Somerville, and later Christ's Way Baptist Church. Eventually Tommy arrived in the burbs of Houston @ Copperfield Church. At some point in the journey, Tommy married Cathy - the yin to his yang. She is his human medication for ADHD. And now he has the addition of his greatest creations "The Deacon" and "The Caroline." You should know that Tommy always says there are only 2 schools to worry about; Sunday school, and Texas A&M University which he attended! Eventually, Gig'em Aggies, WHOOP!
