Thomas grew up in the DFW area.  As a teen, he met his future wife at a church event and the rest is history.  They have now been married for 16 years.  Tommy played football and went to SAGU (Southwestern Assemblies of God University) in Waxahachie where he played football.   

As a kid growing up, he didn't have aspirations to be a police officer.  After college he was working for a moving company and decided he needed to find a career with a pending family.  He sought out policing and got hired by a local police agency.  He attended the regional police academy where he met and trained with  current GPPD officers.  He completed training and worked at that agency for about 11.5 years.  

A few years ago, he lateralled to GPPD for a change of pace and more opportunity.  After being here a few years, he took the Sergeant test and was one of only three people to pass the sergeant test.  So despite being relatively new with GPPD still, the department took 3 supervisors so he promoted!   

SERGEANT Tommy is on nights now where he has been for a year now as a supervisor.  He is going good work and is a testament to hard work and taking opportunities!  We are lucky to have him for sure.
