Thomas was born in North Carolina and moved to Arizona in his early teens. Since he can remember, he has been obsessed with music. Thanks to the acquisition of his parents’ extensive record collection, he could (and would) spout out Beatles’ lyrics at a very early age. To this day, his quiver has continued to grow as his taste for varying styles expands. Thomas completed graduate school and moved to Los Angeles with his soon-to-be wife. Although he spent his childhood summers surfing the beaches of NC, the bug officially took hold in California. As cliché as it may sound, surfing forced Thomas to reevaluate the way he lived his life. This assessment involved a search for balance. The balance between requirements necessary to live in the modern world and those pursuing endeavors that we love. The balance between spending time with those close to him and putting food on the table. The balance between risking a tested strength for a possible pay-off.Success is a weird one. I think success is whether or not you are happy with what you do. Almost everything I have ever made has pieces I am unhappy with, or want to change / improve. I always want to make the next thing better, so I am never completely happy with the outcome. Success is never being satisfied.
