Biography

Now, more than ever, we need to laugh, learn and hear words of encouragement!  Since 1991, Thomas has traveled the U.S. and 19 countries telling his true-life adventures as a Motivational Storyteller:  Humorist and Adventurer.  His incredible adventures range from sleeping in dumpsters in England to exploring the Arctic Circle.  He has survived bareback rodeos, skunks in space suits and electrocution in Sweden.  Remarkably he discovered a lost medieval tomb in Scotland, lassoed a wild beaver and holds a World Record.

"My purpose is not for people to hear my story but to encourage others to discover and develop their own.  I believe by taking personal responsibility, going against the norm of mediocrity and by using our unique talents and gifts, the possibilities are endless!  The stories I tell give meaning behind the madness, in a principle that everyone can relate to, laugh at and apply to their lives."
