Description

Tom is a dynamic leader with a heart for God, a love for students, and a tremendous gift of leadership!

A few years ago Tom was launching new fitness centers throughout Central Florida. Through a series of events and conversations, Tom was led to Christ by Shaddy Soliman, a pastor who had been consistently praying for him.

Tom soon became an active member of Lake Mary Church and took a role with the youth ministry. The fruit of his ministry grew so much and he eventually needed to transition into full-time ministry to effectively lead the growing number of young leaders he was mentoring and discipling. 

Since then this youth ministry has grown exponentially and is impacting the lives of hundreds of students from numerous high schools. 

In addition, as the middle school and high school students have grown older, they have been instrumental in launching new college campus ministries throughout the Central Florida region.
