About the Author:

Tom Pace is an energetic entrepreneur, CEO, and author who currently resides in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. From humble beginnings, Tom has built an outstanding reputation for his dynamic business leadership, engaging charisma, and active community involvement. He speaks regularly to large audiences at corporate, not-for-profit, and educational gatherings and is noted for his ability to effectively bring to life practical ways to apply time-tested principles that have proven to be true in his own life. Tom struggled finding significance during his young adult years and hit rock bottom at the age of 26: he only read at the 4th grade level, was unable to hold a job, suffered from both attention deficit disorder and dyslexia, struggled with depression, and periodically considered suicide. Three years later, in 1987, with a personal net worth of only $62.53, he founded PaceButler Corporation. His determination, entrepreneurial spirit, and ability to effectively lead people have allowed him to build the company into the multi-million dollar, international organization that it is today. PaceButler is recognized for the culture of innovation, optimism, and employee development that Tom has inspired. Attributing his successes in life to the mentoring he has received from others, Tom advocates the vital role of mentoring through his book, Mentor: The Kid and the CEO. Mentor is based on actual experiences from his own life and in it he passes on some of the principles that allowed him to discover health, prosperity, and most importantly, significance. Mentoring is a two-way street for Tom. Not only does he have mentors of his own, but he serves as a mentor for others as well. Like Malcolm in Mentor, Tom conducts weekly meetings and distributes books every Monday in the Oklahoma County Jail. I believe anyone can reach the top no matter where they are in life, he says. But they have to realize the importance of serving others before themselves and the value of mentoring and being mentored. Today, Tom is an avid reader and has read more than 500 books on various topics: mental and physical health, spiritual wellbeing, financial fitness, and healthy relationships. He has read his favorite book, The Purpose Driven Life, over 60 times! He is happily married with two wonderful daughters. He lives an active lifestyle and enjoys running, swimming, skiing.
