Bio
As a writer, history buff, and avid outdoorsman Thomas thoroughly enjoyed his time at Hampden-Sydney College where he earned bachelor’s degrees in History and Government. He was also involved in many activities outside of the classroom, working multiple campus jobs from video editing to hosting an interview series with student-athletes. Exploring his passion for writing, Thomas collaborated with an H-SC alumnus and began freelance work in sports journalism. He then sought to increase the interaction with his articles and social media accounts and began researching social media analytics and SEO, which piqued his interest in digital marketing.
Thomas entered the workforce as a Technical Recruiter & Social Media Coordinator at Expression (Formerly Expression Networks) with a concentration in Digital Marketing thanks to Forge’s Digital Marketing Launch Program where he spent over 16 weeks learning digital marketing skills in a hands on environment. Thomas has a background with Digital Strategy, SEO, Google analytics, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Canva, Figma, Social Media Management/best practices, Organic and Paid Social Media Marketing, CRO, and Copywriting.
After launching his career with Expression, Thomas joined a staffing firm in Richmond, Virginia where he has spent the last 2.5+ years with Magnify (formerly Executive Placements), an INC 5000 company six years running. Thomas’ consitenty, work ethic, and enthusiasm resulted in many accomplishments, achievements, and successes (but not without a few hurdles along the way). two notable accomplishments include being recognized as the company wide “Rising Star” in 2022 and earning the largest placement fee in company history.
In his free time you can probably find Thomas somewhere outdoors, either on the golf course, woodworking, hiking/camping, or running with his dog Fritter. When Thomas is indoors he enjoys playing video games (Rocket League) and watching, tweeting, and writing about sports (Georgia Football, Boston Celtics, and Lacrosse).
