Thomas was a 2010 graduate of Downingtown East High School who went on to study at the Penn State Schreyer Honors College, graduating in 2014 with degrees in International Business and French and Francophone studies. He rowed crew and was actively involved in the community. Thomas spoke multiple languages and chose to pursue writing as a career upon graduation. By age 24, he had books on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestseller lists. He was well-known and deeply loved within the international independent author community, and his abrupt physical departure is profoundly felt to this day. Thomas passed away peacefully at age 25 from an unexplained sudden cardiac arrhythmia, while sitting at his laptop working on a new novel.
