Tom is often a featured speaker at youth seminars and retreats. Speaking to young people from a Christian faith base, he talks about character formation, healthy relationships, substance abuse, and abstinence. Tom imparts moral truths in a way that teens can understand and relate to easily. The gift he brings to our troubled teen program is his example as a husband and father, and as a man of God. In this way he is able to give the boys in our Program a powerful example of Christian manhood. Through honest hard ranch work, Tom leads the boys in establishing a work ethic that has helped many of the troubled teens discover their true potential. The troubled teens on the ranch really look up to Tom and view him as a role model of a man who truly lives his faith in God.
