Thomas J. Farren, Sr. is an author and educator living in the Philadelphia area. Tom has been fortunate to live in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chile, Egypt, and Oregon. He has looked into the mouth of a live volcano, followed Moses up Mt. Sinai, yodeled in the Swiss Alps, and seen pyramids on two continents. Yet, his greatest challenge was asking his wife to marry him, and his greatest adventure has been raising a family with her. He spends his time with his family outside Philadelphia, and enjoys rugby, running, traveling, and wrestling with his children.
