Thomas came to practice law later in life, following many years as an entrepreneur and businessman. He also served as an Adjunct Professor of Theology in the Christian Spirituality Program at Creighton University, where he lectured in contemplative practices and the mystical tradition. Thomas, his wife, Colleen, and their four children enjoyed the mountains of Colorado for many years, but in 2004, chose to make the move to scenic Wimberley, Texas, where they continue to relish a rural lifestyle.
