Thomas was honored to be asked to help raise important funds for the Royal Commonwealth Society at events attended by international high commissioners, ambassadors, and royalty. When Thomas isn’t busy with his jeweler’s loupe in one hand or a gavel in the other, he can be found all in white with a fencing sabre.
