Tom duPont is the 7th generation grandson of Pierre Samuel duPont who migrated to the United States from France a little over 200 years ago. Pierre founded a company that manufactured gun powder, dynamite, paints, plastics, and later invented Kevlar, Nylon and Teflon. This company "DuPont de Nemours, Inc" made the duPont family one of the top 15 richest families in America until this day. Tom is a local entrepreneur in the Tampa area who helped start the duPont Registry magazine in the 80’s, which he still publishes today.
