Thomas Crocker

In his early twenties, Thomas planned to ordain as a Buddhist monk in southeast Asia for a decade or two. His teacher at the time, sensing that his fire for meditation practice was excessively stoked, encouraged him to go find a job and a partner and "live your practice there.” So for the last ten years, Thomas has found joy and meaning in helping bring poetry and the work of Conversational Leadership to a world in desperate need. In his free time, he enjoys playing music and sharing quality time with his family and friends.
