Thomas holds dual bachelor’s degrees from Beloit College: Creative Writing and Russian—with which, naturally, he used to become a fiduciary investment advisor. Thomas is an old soul with the voltage of a four-year-old. Nothing is too serious to laugh about, except matters of life and death. He lives in the Atlanta area with his wife, Katerina, and two beloved dogs, Clyde & Cinnamon. The stray cats he feeds are still grateful he’s alive.

He still loves to go fast, and is happiest when working with his hands under the hood of his car, or on a home remodeling project. He listens to classical music and Blink-182. He is a finalist for the award of world’s best homemade vanilla ice cream.
