Thomas lives the saying, “There’s no ‘I’ in team.” His peers say he’s a driven employee and team player who cares about his customers and his fellow employees at Duo-Form.
No job is too small for him, his nominator says. Thomas is known to pitch in and help when needed.
His charismatic personality draws people to him. His knowledge base in thermoforming make him a go-to sales trainer when onboarding new sales employees and the logical choice for hosting plant tours with prospective customers.
Thomas grew RV market share for Duo-Form Plastics by almost 20% in his four years as sales representative. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he made a rapid transition from sales trainee to sales rep and experienced significant success during a challenging time. That success has carried over year after year ever since.
He is a family man and loves to be with his wife and two young daughters, along with his cat. He enjoys golfing, playing volleyball and basketball, and going to the gym. He is also active with his home parish, St. Pius X, in Granger, Indiana.
Thomas’ advice for upcoming leaders in the RV space:
“Seek truth, goodness and beauty in all you do. Do everything with a purpose and more importantly have someone worth doing it for.”
What it means to Thomas to be a 40 Under 40 honoree:
“I am thrilled to bring recognition to Duo-Form. It’s an honor to be a part of the Duo family. I’m but one cog in the machine.”
