Growing up in church, Tom was saved at young age. He has been blessed to have a wonderful Christian heritage, with many in his family involved in ministry. Tom has served in ministry in many different ways. He was a pastoral assistant and youth pastor with his wife Melissa at Western Heights Church (aka Remedy Church), in Albuquerque for many years. Currently, Tom and his wife serve as Pastor of Western Heights Church. They have three wonderful sons: Chory, Taylor and Tommy. He has a heart for the lost and the fulfillment of the Great Commission. He is honored that God has allowed him to be a part of Sixteen:Fifteen, even though he is not on the “frontline” of ministry, He says, “It’s awesome to watch history unfold before my eyes — seeing churches unleashed to reach people groups all over the world!” (Revelation 7:9-10)
