A Point In Time evolved from Tom's interest in connecting people with the insights gained from years of fieldwork in archaeology and myriad environmental positions. Today, our offerrings include a wide range of subjects in natural and cultural history with a focus on exciting, hands-on experiential education. We provide real-world examples and use real materials when discussing natural and cultural history topics.

Tom blends his academic backgrounds in archaeology and education with a diverse work history, including backcountry guide, wild-land firefighter, naturalist, researcher, park ranger, flint knapper, bear monitor, and field archaeologist. As a hunter, subsistence fisher, gleaner, and trapper, he has spent much time in the backcountry learning skills for survival and navigation. Using both prehistoric and modern technology, Tom works with materials such as jade, mammoth ivory, bone, slate, wood, shell, fur, antler, and chalcedony to create museum-quality replicas for educational programs.
He is currently living in Lacey, Washington.
B.S. Environmental Education, cum laude, Huxley College of Environmental Studies, Western Washington University, Bellingham, 1990
