About the author
Tom Robinson was born March 8, 1964 in Wilmington, N.C. He found his passion in life to be the fire service to which many hours have been committed in the past thirty years. For nine years this service came as a volunteer firefighter, and then it became a career path in his professional life. Many life experiences throughout his career led him to find poetry as an outlet to express feelings and emotions not normally shared in this profession. Tom attended Coastal Carolina Community College in Jacksonville, N.C. and is a graduate of Columbia Southern University in Alabama. Tom received a Bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection/Business Administration. Tom is a Battalion Chief in the fire service as well as an instructor for Cape Fear Community College. Tom does have one work that has been recognized in the wake of 9-11. “In Remembrance” became the official poem for the Remembrance Flag and copies of this poem are sent with each flag purchased. In Remembrance is included in Hearts on Fire. Tom published his first book in February 2013 and is titled “Heart Thoughts”. Life is for experiencing and poetry allows those experiences to be expressed in many different venues.
