Meet the Knights

Thomas S. Knight, Jr. was one of the founders of Orbis and remained a supporter, donor, and friend right up until his passing in 2014. We will be forever thankful for his legacy. Now Tom's son Peter and his own daughter, Becket, are dedicated members of the Orbis family. Read their experiences from a 2018 trip to Mongolia to see our work in action.
