He's been evacuated in an ambulance from the barren Badlands of western Canada.Tom is a veteran television journalist and author who's spent the last 20-plus years telling the biggest stories of our time. He's reported from the East Room of White House and Capitol Hill, interviewed Presidents and presidential candidates, and was at the Pentagon while smoke still rose in the hours after 9/11.He's writes post-apocalyptic thrillers, action adventure, and political conspiracies.Tom lives in the Houston suburbs with his wife, Courtney, and their two children.
