His wife, Sarah, also currently serves as an Army engineer officer. For his entire life, he has been surrounded by incredible role models in the services. 

Thomas is a captain in the U.S. Army with 10 years of active military service. He started his career as a Marine Corps infantryman, leaving as a corporal to attend West Point. There, he studied chemical engineering and commissioned as an engineer officer. Thomas has served in engineering and leadership roles in the 1st Engineer Battalion at Fort Riley, Kansas, the 1st Engineer Brigade at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and Area Support Group—Jordan in Zarqa, Jordan.
