Hi everyone -- my name is Tom Buchanan and I'm finally making an entry into the YouTube world. The most important thing about me is that I am fortunate beyond all reason in that I am married to my Lisa, the most wonderful and beautiful wife a man could hope to have, and have two incredible children, a son Jeb who is 9 (and a future engineer and/or baseball star) and a daughter Caroline who is 7 (and a fantastic dancer and artist). Life is good.

Born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, I'm a graduate of Vanderbilt and Princeton, and was ordained a Presbyterian (PC-USA) minister in 1993, and have served churches in New Jersey and Georgia. I eventually left the active pastorate to pursue other paths. In 2006 I founded a community education network called EmergentSpirit, through which I offer educational programs of depth and passion, having particular interest in the nature and place of spirituality in the world of today. For more on EmergentSpirit, check out our web site. We'd love to hear from you!
