Thomas is from the sunshine state, Florida. There, he lives with his parents, grandmother, brother, and beloved dog, Minnie. Thomas is spending his sophomore year abroad in Germany with the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program. He enjoys going to the beach, watching rocket launches from his driveway, and eating all sorts of Floridan frozen delectibles (although Key Lime pie is pretty good too). Along with the chance to be immersed in a new culture, the prospect of trying Spaghettieis was a key factor in his decision to apply for the program!
