Tom has worked in the corporate lending arena for more than 30 years, helping to finance complex capital expenditures by providing analysis, structuring, guidance, and negotiations on behalf of clients. Tom brings a deep level of experience to Ministry Solutions’ clients, having been involved in more than $1 billion dollars of financing involving many types of financial structures throughout his career.
Tom's primary role with Ministry Solutions is to work with lenders to provide optimal financing alternatives for our clients. He creates a consensus with the church leadership on a loan request amount and its timing, then creates and presents the loan request for multiple funding institutions’ review. After approval, Tom will lead the negotiation on terms and conditions, and walk with the church through loan closing. Tom also conducts all of the financial data analysis and provides project budget oversight during the pre-construction loan process.
Tom graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1986 and, over the years, has regularly volunteered at church and other civic organizations, including serving on various oversight committees at church, as home group leader, on the worship team, in the children’s ministry, and the maintenance team. For several years Tom also served on the Central Florida Board for United Way in the capacity that distributes funds throughout central Florida, and on the Board of Directors for a crisis center for women where Tom and his family have volunteered for 20 years.
