Thomas (updated 1-2010)

Thomas and a cast of thousands Thomas was born in Santa Barbara, CA, and raised in Paso Robles.  He has loved to read since he was a little boy, often stuck in his room with a good book while his brothers and sister were outside playing.  He still likes to read, but doesn’t get much time to do so.  Aside from working at Russo’s as the Business Development Representative, he is the Marketing and Gallery Director at The Empty Space Theatre, where he volunteers his time and talents both on and off the stage.  Thomas has three great kids, Melissa, Andres and Alex and lives in Bakersfield, CA.
