Thomas Ziemnick

As Vice President for Advancement, Tom Ziemnick oversees all of PHC’s fundraising, development, communications, and marketing efforts.

Mr. Ziemnick has spent the last twenty-five years in professional sales, management, and development positions, including the last fourteen at Patrick Henry College. He became the Assistant Vice President of Advancement in 2008, and accepted the appointment as Vice President in 2013.

Mr. Ziemnick has many passions in life, including his love of aviation. He is a graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, earning a B.S. in Professional Aeronautics, and Emery Aviation College, obtaining an A.O.S. Certificate in Aviation Technology. He began his professional career as a flight instructor for Emery Aviation College in Colorado. Airplanes and aviation are still important to him, but those passions have been supplanted by an unabashed love of Christ, his family, the education of his children, and the mission and vision of Patrick Henry College. Mr. Ziemnick and his wife, Nancy, began supporting PHC when they met Mike Farris in 2003, just after they decided to homeschool their children. Living in California, they became convinced that PHC was the right place at the right time for this country.
