Thomas grew up in a small town in South Carolina, racing his cousins and sister down the hall or down a flight of stairs on Christmas morning. He even once saw the tracks of Santa's sleigh in the snow on the roof of his grandparents' home!Thomas lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with his three kids, Audrey, Bayon, and Wyatt; a beautiful wife, Melissa; and the tiniest of reindeer, a Shih Tzu named Penny Benjamin. A big fan of origin stories, Thomas has always thought Santa's other reindeer should be given their due, hence the Reindeer Games series.
