Born and raised in Ojai, California, Thomas first encountered sacred music while singing hymns with his family as a child. He fell in love with choral singing in high school, and continued to sing and direct at Thomas Aquinas College. In 2014, Thomas joined the faculty at St. Monica Academy in Montrose, CA, a Catholic Classical school where he taught Chemistry, and eventually became the director of the high school choir program. After a wonderful 7-year term at St. Monica’s, Thomas felt called to join Floriani and bring his love for singing — and teaching! — to the group.Thomas and his amazing wife Rebecca have been married for seven years and have four beautiful daughters. Singing with his family is still his greatest joy.
