Adam Thomas (technical reviewer)

Adam Thomas’ career can best be defined as a successful hobby.  Having an early interest in computers and being mostly self-taught, he decided to go to Humber College in Toronto to study computer information systems. Soon after his graduation in 2001, Adam was invited back to his school to be a professor of Rich Media and Web Development. Alongside teaching, he runs a successful web studio called Robin Hood Tech. Adam takes pride in employing former students who he has had the privilege of teaching and gives them the opportunity to gain experience and excel in a competitive field.  Adam is cofounder of the Robin Hood Business Model, which advocates for justice in business.  Adam strives for integrity and simplicity, but his true motivation is his wife and family, who are daily reminders of love, faith, and blessing.
