Career
While working on The Fairly OddParents, Thomas moved up from writer to Associate Story Editor and received writing credit on well over a third of the show's 70+ episodes.

He then graduated from The Ohio State University Law School and practiced law for four years in Columbus, Ohio. In his second year of practice, Thomas won a case in the Ohio Supreme Court. He also won his one and only criminal jury trial. Then he decided to retire from the law undefeated and become a stand up comic. During his stand up years Thomas performed in comedy clubs all over the country, working with such acts as Jerry Seinfeld, Dennis Miller and Ellen DeGeneres. His favorite gig was opening for old friend and fellow Ohioan, Drew Carey in the main showroom at Caesar's Palace. He was born in Vienna, Virginia.
