Tom began growing orchids more than 50 years ago while growing up in Northwest Florida. His parents supported his hobby and, understanding the value of education above all else, bought him a membership in the AOS. After graduate school he settled in Oregon where he and his wife built a greenhouse designed for cool-growing genera, Odontoglossums, Masdevallias, and Draculas, that thrive in the US Pacific Northwest.
