     Born in Waterloo, New York, raised in Marana (Tucson), Arizona this Disabled Veteran of five different combat tours from 1985 to 2005 has traveled the world many times over while serving proudly in the military and has seen and done many things, but one thing stands true with this highly decorated soldier; he stands true to his honor, country and his devotion to his family.  His many military awards are just a testament to his honor for his country and fellow citizens.  His tours of duty include German during the Cold War 1986-1989, The Gulf War 1989-1991, Germany 1997-1999, Bosnia/Kosovo 1999-2001, Korea 2002-2003, and Iraq 2004; until he became disabled and was forced into retirement during his long tour of duty for his country.  Thomas’s time in the service, he was privileged to have visited impressive 62-countries around the world, learning much about the cultures and languages.  Thomas spent some of his free time writing novels that to this day are still not published for one reason or another, but he also took up the passion for musical instruments and singing in a Christian rock band while living in Germany.  After his final move from Texas back to his home state of Marana, Arizona, and among the many talents Thomas may have, he has taken up sewing and photography as a lasting hobby.  He now lives for his two sons and since his timely divorce of eighteen years, he now focus's his time and efforts into his novels for your reading enjoyment.
