Thomas's Story
Life
Tom Gibson is an Associate Professor of Physics at Texas Tech University. He is married to Monica Gibson (who works for Creative Woman, The Wizard Of Bras) and they have one daughter, Megan.
School
Completed my sophomore year at Lawton High School:I only remember drivers ed and intro to personal typing---the single most useful course, ever. Half of junior year at Harrison High in Colorado Springs: interesting people; liked physics and chemistry. The rest of high school at Saint Mary's in the Springs: loved the proms and smoking in the boy's room.
College

inancial necessity) attended a small, commuter college with good, dedicated teachers. Favorite memories: haunted dorm, road tripping to NASA, LSU, and Mardi Gras with the SPS. Served as "pickup man" for the first SPS sponsored streaker---DF, you know what I'm talking about.
Workplace
Spent three wonderful postdoc years at CalTech. Great place, great people. Met my wife there.
Have been in my first real job for the past 20 years at Texas Tech University, teaching, training grad students, and building the department's computing facilities. Also a great place---don't regret any of it.
