Tom has designed and installed many residential and commercial  landscapes featuring bromeliads. He is in demand as a speaker  throughout Florida and the United States presenting programs on  bromeliads to Garden Clubs, Bromeliad Clubs, and the University of  South Florida Botanical Gardens. Tom has worked tirelessly through the years, providing leadership when needed, and promoting bromeliads on  the local, state, national and international levels. He is presently  serving as the President of the Tampa Bay Orchid Society and Director  of the Bromeliad Guild of Tampa Bay. His wife, Carol, is Vice President of the BGTB.

 Tom and Carol live in Lutz and grow their bromeliads on their 2.5  acres of land and greenhouses. Carol photographs blooming bromeliads  in their yard and greenhouses each month and has a collection of  13,000 plus bromeliad pictures. Some of her bromeliad photos were  recently published in the Tampa Bay Magazine. Tom will be using some of these photos in a power point program as he shares his knowledge  about them.
