Tom is an eclectic, self-styled "non-linear thinker" who often
writes of himself in the third person. (He says an ego the size
of his should be approached only at a distance.)
He is currently "helping" the Federal government as Lead Chemist (resume)
with the Department of the Interior's Helium Operation. He is
interested in the Present, the Future, and the Past (in that order). He claims skills
in mathematics, physics, and chemistry (he has degrees in 2 out of 3).
He likes to play with cryptography, puzzles, and real mysteries.
He says he knows:
- where Emperor Maximilian's treasure is
- where Excalibur was last seen (in the 12th century)
- how to deactivate radioisotopes without a nuclear reactor
- how to produce isotopically pure Helium-4 (less than 1 ppb Helium-3) in commercial quantities
- how to produce a weave {bulletproof polyester?} that will make fabric 50% stronger
(His next major addition to this site is planned to be a page on Maximilian's treasure!)
