Tom Carter joined the Becket Fund in January 2008 to handle media relations. A graduate from Susquehanna University in English literature, Tom spent 25 years reporting in Washington, and around the world.
Most recently on the Washington Times foreign desk, Tom focused on human rights in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, and global health issues, including HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis. He interviewed dozens of international leaders, from the Dalai Lama and Benazir Bhutto, to heads of state including Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Mexico's Vicente Fox, Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Botswana's Festus Mogae.
After three reporting trips to Cuba, he was banned from returning when his articles on human rights activists angered government officials.
Tom and his wife Chizuko have been married for 26 years. They have two grown children.
