Tom served in a Youth Center in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, where he worked with the staff to develop programs for teens.

Serving in the second largest city in the country with his wife Amy Moniot, he also led a nationwide environmental education project. The project created youth 'eco-clubs' in towns and villages across Georgia, published a 200 page curriculum for the clubs in Georgian, and held an annual youth camp in some of the wildest regions of the Caucuses.

Tom lives in Ohio City and works remotely as a manager for Tickets.com. His favorite part of NORVA are the service opportunities, and he is very grateful for the deep friendships he has developed through the group.
