He grew up primarily in Dothan, Alabama, while also spending part of his childhood in Atlanta, Georgia, and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where he began skateboarding at age eleven. In 1992, Thomas moved to San Francisco to pursue a professional career, enduring homelessness and hardship while skating the legendary Embarcadero scene.
