Thomas Trock is a career biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Service. For years he has enjoyed hiking where no other boot-print can be found - armed with backpack, fly rod, and one of the goofiest dogs on the planet. When not captivated by the solitude of the mountains, Thomas likes to visit nursing homes with Cosmos the Wonderdog, and serenade the residents with his acoustic guitar. Thomas has lived in Africa, and along with his beloved wife, has worked with some remarkable folks in several third-world countries. No one has ever accused him of being the sharpest tool in the shed. He considers himself just a simple man who has found a remarkable Truth. Some of his favorite movies are: Do You Believe? The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry, The Chronicles of Narnia series, and Babe. Theodor Geisel is a favorite author, as Dr. Seuss is one of the few writers Thomas can understand. Usually. Well - sometimes anyway.
