Growing up in Nashville, from an early age on Thomas always knew what he was interested. From modern art photography to his passion for how he appreciated vision and design.In 2008 during a Campaign he was apart of really ignited his joy for this business. Loving the enthusiastic experience of the different looks and styles of modeling, each day became more and more appreciative. Starting off on his own he began to do what any other model would do, he started to network. If not through social media, it was more word-to-mouth. Talking with models, that led to many different photographers eventually landed him in major roles. Even though his passion is always modeling, Thomas also does hair as well. Always thinking of ways to keep his income rolling in at all times. Now, becoming more into the world of hair and modeling Thomas managed to juggle both of his careers, which keeps even busier day by day. Hard work definitely pays off for Thomas, from working in music videos with pop star Kesha to landing a role on an upcoming TV show on Lifetime, which should air this upcoming March. With working 16 hours a day, Thomas literally has to create time to not only himself, but family as well. Making time for himself is so important to him these days, and every time he does, he makes his time enjoy a quiet space. Since that doesn't come as often Thomas just quickly snatches 10-15 minutes to himself, to allow himself to recharge. Now, nominated for male model of the year for the 2013 EBN Awards, he felt so surprised at the nomination. He felt honored, because this is something he loves to do, and for the community to recognize his accomplishments, he is very grateful.
