Thomas grew up in Darnestown and has been a St. Raphael's parishioner his entire life. He is a SRNS alumnus and later went on to attend nearby St. Elizabeth's and then Gonzaga High School in Washington, D.C. Thomas studied broadcast journalism at the University of Maryland and spent his first two years out of school, working in sports radio at SiriusXM. Seeking a job with more purpose, he made a career change and began teaching last year at Our Lady of Victory in D.C., where he worked in 3rd grade. Thomas is excited to work in a community that has already had such a great impact on his life. He recently moved to Southwest Washington, D.C. where he now lives.
