About

I am Paul Thomas. I was born, raised, and have lived the majority of my life in Atlanta, GA (or suburbs thereof).

I am a former athlete (high school and college). My soul bears the imprint of those experiences but I really don’t follow sports teams that much (notwithstanding the Dawgs or the Braves when I can make myself watch them).

I was a GA High School Heavy Weight (undefeated) State Champion at one time. I was also a 220 lb class National Champion Wrestler in three different styles of wrestling, Greco-Roman, Freestyle, and Sombo. I further earned a Silver Medal in the Sombo World Championships in Milan Italy when I was a teenager.

I played football for Appalachian State in my freshman year of college.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from GA State University, and an MBA in Finance, also from GA State, as well I am a licensed CPA in the state of GA.

I am married to a beautiful Cuban woman who gave me three beautiful children in addition to the two that she had when we met. My son was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome (or Butt Berger’s as my son refers to it). He is brilliant but quirky. Since his diagnosis I have discovered (or rather, my wife has researched and discovered) that Butt Berger’s is hereditary… and he didn’t get it from his mother…

Beyond that my astrological sign is on the cusp between Aries and Taurus and my favorite color is blue..  🙂

    You have a beautiful family and a gorgeous wife. Do you have any other helpful tips that may be useful. I am teetering on taking an excel online class for advanced or intermediate. Did you self teach yourself excel or??? Just trying to figure out my best route to take. Do you think I could send you an inbox message with some specific questions I have

    • Thank you Lynn. That is very kind of you to say!
      I took some classes over the years but mainly learned out of necessity.. Biggest advice I could give would be to bring to Excel a healthy curiosity and belief that if there is a need that there is probably a way to puzzle it out in Excel.

      If you have specific questions I will try to get those answered if you inbox me.

      Thanks again!
      Paul

    Hello Paul, its great to see you are doing well. You have a beautiful family. Thanks for lighting the fire back in the day for me. I would have liked one more shot at you in 88. You were the great white whale!

    • Hey Greg, It’s great to hear from you! Those were crazy good times! If I recall correctly you were one of the most difficult wrestlers to turn that I wrestled..
