Gregory A Thomas

Dr. Gregory A. Thomas is not just a financial strategist-he's a movement. Known to many as Big Tex, he is a nationally respected economist, entrepreneur, publishing executive, and former elected official whose life and leadership defy conventionalboundaries.

Dr. Thomas holds a Ph.D. in Economics from The Wharton School, an MBA from Southern Methodist University, and dual bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Marketing from the University of Texas. He also earned dual doctorates in Theology and Ministry from The King's University.

He is the Founder and Advisory Partner of Carbonado Capital Investments, overseeing more than $700 million in assets under management, and the Chief Operating Officer of multiple successful ventures, including Global Hair 4U, Heated Armor, and Thomas Family Ranches, Inc. Through Thomas & Thomas Publishing House, he continues to elevate new voices and publish transformational works that blend faith, finance, and leadership.

A former two-term Town Councilman and the youngest Mayor in the history of Heath, Texas, Dr. Thomas has spent his life building bridges between policy, purpose, and the people. Even while incarcerated, he continues to lead financial literacy workshops, author books, publish curriculum, and mentor men behind the wire.

Wealth Starts Here is more than a book-it's a testament to his calling. Through it, Dr. Thomas empowers readers to reclaim their economic power, think like owners, and build wealth from wherever they are.

He lives by the belief:

"Ownership is the foundation of freedom-and wealth is a decision."
