Tom’s Book

When you start on the very bottom the only way is up and Tom Pado took that notion to the extremes. He was driven by his passions and was a leader in the development of undersea robots for the Oil and Gas Industries. His story is one that has riveted readers taking them on the ride from humble beginnings to building a multi-million dollar business. 

Tom Writes

A man who has spent his entire life making ideas, big ideas, come to fruition cannot simply retire and “rest.” No, Tom’s mind still roils with ideas, which he is compelled to share. In addition, readers ask questions and want more of the details of some of the stories in the book. So Tom writes a blog. It is filled with humor, science, technology, people and his effervescent personality. 

Tom Speaks

Once Tom began telling stories and sharing his knowledge and insights, he was asked to speak to groups. He has spoken about business, technology, science, fostering personal success, and more. His audiences have ranged from grade school children to high school and college students as well as adults in professional settings, community and civic organizations, and social groups.
