In 2017 Thomas decided that it was time to revisit his roots in working behind a camera only this time it was not a motion picture film camera but instead a mirrorless FujiFilm XT2 digital camera. Instagram became a major part of his everyday life during the time of working in food and beverage and he started to use it to his advantage in gaining a network of friends and followers that slowly started turning into clients. Since then he has been shooting lifestyle, commercial, and landscape photography creating a very well rounded and balanced portfolio of creative images that evoke emotional responses.His goal is to portray atmosphere and emotion through his work. Whether he is shooting locally in the South or traveling and teaching around the world, Thomas hopes to leave an impact on the world through his photography.

The Lab was a multi coffee roaster cafe (2 locations) fueled by people, collaborations, delicious treats and creating memorable experiences. It was a space that was more than just your average coffeehouse. It was designed and built for people to engage and enjoy. It was a first of its kind focusing on providing top notch customer service and an unmatchable experience for customers.The Lab was completely focused on engagement. In the 5 years it was open, we served well over a half million people and were a daily part of their everyday stories. Marketing was absolutely crucial in getting people into the doors and we did it through multiple streams and channels but the most effect was being different and focusing on that outlier mentality. Once the customer walked through the doors, that’s when the training and “wow” factors has to step up to the bar and lead the guest on a ride unlike any other coffeehouse they had been to before. We had to raise the bar and set it higher and then maintain it.

While at Community Coffee (CC's Coffeeshop) I helped to establish, implement and convey training programs. I was an integral part of the team helping to establish a sound foundation for the coffeehouses and cafes both with and without Drive-Thrus in both form and function. I helped to set in place procedures that would benefit all aspects of the coffeeshop experience. I oversaw and helped to guide the opening of 6 brick and mortar locations and 4 kiosks.
