Thomas attended his first autocross in 2014 in a Pontiac Sunfire—and was instantly hooked. Already deep into the worlds of WRC and F1, the chase for speed had officially begun. He credits much of his progress to Val DiPietro, the local “Autocross King,” who helped shape his early development.

Eventually, Thomas picked up a 2006 BMW 330i and began honing his skills. After taking the stock car to an OTA event, he started volunteering and later instructing with OTA. Soon after, he was brought on by Pinnacle Advanced Driving Academy, where he continues to enjoy teaching.

After a few years off to raise his daughter, like any true racer he got the bug again and in 2019 bought a road race car. He fell in love immediately!
