He is the owner of his own private school VideoMantis.com, dedicated to helping Production Sound Mixers in the union world create better synergy for their department. He has traveled to China, Canada, and Mexico to teach master classes for aspiring professionals in those regions as well as many different schools around the US.

Thomas will hook you from the moment you take his courses and livestreams. He lives and breathes sound, and enjoys sharing the theories that will help you tell your story better. His first words when walking in the door were, “I am not here to teach our students how to record sound. I am here to tell them how to help capture the performance better.”
