His parents immigrated to the United States after he was one year old, and at the age of 16, Thomas became a proud U.S. citizen.Thomas attended college and earned a degree in Criminal Justice.

Eighteen of those years, Thomas spent in the solo motorcycle unit specializing in enhanced and proactive traffic enforcement, vehicle escorts, traffic flow management, dignitary protection, as well as patrolling and protecting during special events. Thomas was so very honored to have been an escort for several presidents during his time with the department. After retirement in 2009, his love of cars led him to a career with Bob Moore Auto Group. He was a natural and began with Cadillac and most recently worked with Chrysler Jeep Dodge. His infectious smile and outgoing manner led to his becoming the world's greatest salesman.
