MEET Thomas

What is your background?

I have previous experience in the fire apparatus industry and have had a lifelong passion for the fire service. I am a self-proclaimed nerd about anything fire truck related and love being able to use that knowledge to better equip apparatus to help first responders do their job more effectively and safely.

What do you do at HiViz?

Job Title: South Central Regional Sales Manager
Start Date: June 2025
Describe your day-to-day: Wake up, remind myself how awesome it is that I get to work with emergency vehicles on a daily basis and then get to work. If I’m at the home office then I’ll inevitably be talked into a game of tug-of-war by my golden retriever during lunch, otherwise I’m on the road seeing customers and enjoying the great variety of scenery in my territory along the way.

What drew you to HiViz?

I’ve been following the innovation and continued product releases coming from HiViz for several years and with my own background in lighting design I was always especially interested in HiViz.

Where are you from originally?

I’m Texan born and raised, originally from Dallas!

Tell us a fun fact about yourself:

In my free time, I’m an avid photographer and especially enjoy aviation photography.

Best advice you were given?

“Ignorance is excusable when it is borne like a cross, but when it is wielded like an ax… then it becomes something else indeed.” – Flannery O’Connor

Would you rather be able to hop like a frog or only walk backward?

Only walk backward. I’ve lead enough tours and done enough walk-arounds on apparatus that I feel like I practically do this anyway.
