Tom Wood here. A journalist by trade, I have at various moments in the past 20 years veered into entrepreneurship and the writing of history. More about all that at the E. Thomas Wood wiki page.

I live in Nashville, Tennessee, where I was born in 1963. I have spent significant amounts of time in Sewanee, Tennessee (on myriad visits with friends), Leeds, England (junior year abroad from Vanderbilt, 1984-85), Krakow, Poland and environs (while working on, and later promoting, my biography of Jan Karski), Bucharest, Romania (a two-month stint lecturing on journalism at three universities under U.S. Information Agency sponsorship), Cambridge, England (where my family and I lived from September 2001 to Christmas 2003), and London (many times for many reasons).
