Thomas P's Story

Thomas is from Carmel, California. Thomas's schools include Gunn High School. Thomas then went onto attending Humboldt State University as a Forestry Major. In his second year he switched to Business Administration and spent a half a year living and working in Hawaii prior to transferring to California Polytechnic University of Pomona to focus on Hotel & Restaurant Management. After spending the better part of 10 years working for the Hyatt Hotel Corporation in San Francisco and culminating that effort with being the Hotel Manager on duty during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake disaster. His cool handling of that extremely difficult situation earned him his final appointment to open The Hyatt on Fisherman's Wharf. A career change as a result of a epiphany he had (read on for that explanation) landed him later attending College of San Mateo to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering. This prepared him for becoming one of the most skilled Technicians working in the Spa Industry for the Sundance Spa Corporation. Thomas earned a notable name in his technical ability, which was followed by becoming one of the few Technicians to become a Authorized Dealer for Sundance. Setting a record number of 11 closed sales in one day with no cancellations showed his ability to sell the Sundance line of Home Improvement products just as remarkably as he diagnosed them as a Technician. Thomas had just gotten married about this time to Lynne Meredith and then went on to have three kids that are his greatest achievement according to his words. "The best thing that I have done and will be a lasting mark on this world is that God was kind enough to bless me with three children. All are far smarter than I and have so many skills, to list them all would be too timely. To say it in a sentence all three of my kids have already achieved what most don't in a lifetime. Therefore my greatest accomplishment will have been them as a representation of my life and how you can break the chain of disfunction as I did in my own family by becoming the first to get clean and sober and have a family brought up without violence, abuse, trauma, and those things that will not be forgotten easily even with years of therapy and healing. Selling his three store chain of profitable stores in order to relocate his growing family he transitioned from selling home improvement products to selling homes as a top producing Realtor for Re/Max of California & Hawaii. Thomas again rose to the top quickly becoming the number one Realtor in his home town and being inducted into the Re/Max International Hall Of Fame in less than three years. Holding that position for the ten years he lived In the Northern Lake Tahoe Region before moving to the Central Coast and launching his current company Hurley Real Estate Services. This latest entrepreneurial endeavor allows him the benefit of using his 30 plus years of real es...Expand for more
tate industry experience in favor of his clients best interest. Thomas now is preparing for the release of his first two books. Most would write one, but Thomas had to write the second and wanted them to be released together because the second is about his grandfather who was his mentor, coach, advisor, and role model which Thomas never got from his biological father because of his problem with alcohol. Thomas himself had began down the same road of destruction and waste until at the age of 29 he realized his wrong turn in life was going to cost him his life or worse the life of someone else. Knowing this motivated him to become the first in his family to break the chain of dysfunction and addiction getting clean and sober over 20 years ago and rebuilding his life with his wife who he met at that time. Life has had its ups and downs for him since that time but that what was what inspired him to write his first book "Obstacles or Opportunities" -Its just a matter of Perspective. It is Thomas" hope and dream to be able to make enough from thew sale of his books to be able to fulfill his lifelong goal of living on 10 percent of his income while donating 90 percent to charities around thew world. Thomas has stated "People who have more money than they NEED, normally don't do enough for their fellow man to justify their success I believe. If those in this world would give more back to this world it would be a better place for everyone and therefore make their own lives better for the privilege of being one who made the difference in the lives of other, this would be so much a better epitaph on their headstone than, He who dies with the most toys wins". Boy who ever wrote that sure didn't think as too how much of a moron they would sound like when they wrote it!! God Bless those who make it their goal to bless others everyday. That's what God wanted us to do when he gave us Life.. Now living back on the Monterrey peninsula in Carmel I have experienced the one event I never expected, divorce of my 20 years being devoted to and supporting my wife Lynse. After inheriting tens of millions from her mother, I have become unneccessary as I once was providing her the ability to be a stay at home mom while I handled the family's finances. Now with money to spare, it's see ya, and I wouldn't want be ya. Well I hope the money brings her happiness, for me I'm happy to live free and mobile in my fifth wheel getting back into racing at Laguna Seca and looking forward to finally racing for a living. It's all I ever wanted when I was young, but couldn't findo a sponsor. Now nothing is holding me back so Hurley Racing is born. Now my nickname of HurleyBird can be applied to its fullest extent. Now if I can get my oldest son to be my Crew Chief I would be really dialed in. Writing books and racing cars going 160 MPhil is not a bad way to live as far as I'm concerned. Only in America!!!

For those who know me well, I have always had an appreciation and fascination for birds of prey. That is especially true of the American Bald Eagle because of the mid life decision they must make. This occurs at age 35-40 w
