Tom literally grew up in Metaphysical Christianity when he began attending the Shrine of the Master Church of Tampa at the age of 11.  He became a vibrational healer at age of 18 and upon graduation from college, entered into the business world.  In 1979 he moved to Sarasota where his spiritual studies included weekly classes on psychic development and mediumship. Tom began giving messages at church services at the age of 27.

Tom began his ministerial studies in 1990 and was ordained as a minister of the Church Metaphysical Christianity in 1995.  When Rev.
