Hello, I'm Ritchie Thomas...
Soldiers are trained for the combat battlefield, but my mission is to guide my military brothers and sisters to transition to secure high-paying jobs and businesses. Keep reading to hear why this is important to me and the corporate workplace, and to the thousands of vets looking for anew career after the military
My Journey From Camaflouge to Corporate
I’m passionate about helping veterans reimagine their lives post-military. As a coach, author, and speaker, I guide veterans in creating the life they desire and attaining a renewed sense of self.
I spent six years in the US Army as a Sergeant and I.T. Program Manager. I was also a paratrooper, stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC, deployed to Bagram,
Afghanistan, and served at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, PR, and Homestead Air Reserve Base, FL.
My book, “The Mediocre Miracle,” shares my experiences and lessons from my post-military transition.
As a veteran and Half-Ironman competitor, I emphasize the power of mind over matter, encouraging a shift from finances to fulfillment.Â
I offer a 12-week online coaching program, “A Soldier’s Coach,” and an online course, “10 Steps on How to Successfully Transition Out of the Military & into a Great Career.” These programs provide essential tools for building a prosperous post-military life.
I am the Deputy Director of IT for a state organization representing municipal governments in Georgia.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and am pursuing a Master’s degree in Information Management for Executives at Syracuse University.
I volunteer with the nonprofit Year Up, helping young adults gain the skills and support they need to reach their potential. I’m also a member of the Atlanta Chapter of the Association of Information Technology Professionals.
In my free time, I enjoy creating lasting memories with my wife and two children.
Let’s connect and support our veterans together!Â
