Autorenporträt
Dr. Gregory A. Thomas is a nationally recognized economist, investor, entrepreneur, and former mayor who has spent his life at the intersection of policy, principle, and the people. Born into wealth-but determined to carve his own path-he built a multimillion-dollar portfolio from scratch, led major public and private sector initiatives, and became a trusted voice in economic reform and conservative leadership. With advanced degrees in theology, economics, and business, Dr. Thomas has advised Fortune 500 companies, founded socially responsible investment firms, and taught financial literacy to underserved communities-including inside America's prison system. As mayor, he governed with conviction and compassion, never backing down from a fight when the stakes were real. In The Big Beautiful Breakdown, he brings that same grit, clarity, and Texas-born bluntness to the national conversation-decoding legislation, exposing the cost of political theater, and calling citizens back to courage, truth, and common sense. When he's not writing or leading, you can find him in the library at the Fremont Correctional Facility and/or crunching numbers in Mr. Daniel Garcia's classroom.
