Thomas's Bio

I AM ON A 10-DAY LEAVE.

For those of you who don't know, I'm Thomas - that 18-year old American who lives and breathes soccer. Since joining the B/R, I've worked my way up to becoming a senior writer and one of the community leaders for the growing Major League Soccer page. The other community leader is Joe Guarr.

If you have any questions related to MLS let me or Joe know and we'll see what we can do. Keep comments and notes suitable for all ages. Thanks. I'm gonna be writing mostly about MLS and trying to get some exposure for it here on the B/R. I will write about other things occasionally also. I pretty much write about everything except NASCAR.

I recently became a writer on Soccercityfc.com, a small site dedicated to football. You can check it out by just clicking on the link over by my photo. I am also on a new social networking site for football (soccer) fans called Footbo.com. You can check it out at http://www.footbo.com/Users/united90

I'm a fan of all things Maryland - the Terps, the O's, and the Ravens. Although, when it comes to college football, I tend to lean toward Navy a bit more than the Terps. For all you soccer (football) people, I live and breathe Manchester United. I'm also an avid fan of AS Roma, Real Madrid, and DC United in MLS.

After living in Thailand for 4 and a half years, I'm living and going to college in Maryland. The things I miss most about Thailand are the 10 soccer matches on TV a day (and college soccer on FSC doesn't count here in Maryland), the weather (it was never below 80 degrees), and the food. I consider it my second home.

Besides soccer, I enjoy football (NFL & college), basketball, golf, tennis, a little bit of baseball, and just a bit of hockey. When I'm not indulging in sports, I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with friends, making people laugh, laughing (I know, from the picture you wouldn't think I'm funny), writing, playing the piano, and driving cars.

Leave all useless info, death threats, hate mail, love notes, praises, suggestions for a new article, roundtable invitations, and anything else on my board. If I deem it important, I'll get back to you.

"It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up, because by that time I was too famous." - Robert Benchley
