Thomas has more than 50 years of experience as a musician and an audio engineer. As a co-owner of Wirebender Audio Systems--a recording studio, live sound system provider, and an audio equipment manufacturing facility--his clients ranged from the Nebraska Symphony to Luther Allison and many others. Then, his career shifted to the mundane as an electronics and manufacturing engineer for Arrakis Systems, QSC Audio, and a couple of medical device companies. After recovering from that diversion, the one man version of Wirebender Audio Systems provided acoustic consulting services for musical and commercial building projects, engineering, installation, and maintenance services for studio owners and live sound facilities, and recording services. In retirement, Thomas is back to creating his own music.
