About the Author

Tom was born in the small town of Crisfield on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. A place where stories and songs float out on the wind like the salty aroma of fresh marsh grasses.

He moved to Northern Virginia, where he worked as an engineer in the defense industry for forty years. While he was there, stories continued to float out to him, but they came from dusty engineering notebooks and long-forgotten Cold War circuitry.

Now that he's retired, Tom is trying to recall the old stories and give them a voice.
