Denver, Colorado Nov 2, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Behind every great leader is a story of perseverance, heart, and faith. For Dr. Gregory A. Thomas, that story runs deeper than titles, campaigns, or credentials — it’s a story about family, community, and unwavering purpose.
Dr. Thomas is first and foremost a family man. His wife, Corrina Thomas, describes him not just as a visionary, but as her anchor. “Greg has this rare kind of strength that doesn’t come from power — it comes from peace,” Corrina says. “Even when life hit hard, he chose to build others up instead of breaking down. That’s who he’s always been — a man whose love for people never wavers, no matter what the circumstances look like.”
Those circumstances — including his ongoing incarceration — haven’t dimmed his fire or silenced his faith. Instead, they’ve refined his mission. From within those walls, Dr. Thomas launched Colorado First, a grassroots movement designed to reconnect Colorado communities and remind people that compassion still has a place in leadership.
Colorado First is more than an idea — it’s a movement rooted in service. Under Dr. Thomas’s leadership, teams have organized mobile food banks to feed families across all 64 counties, proving that even in adversity, purpose finds a way to move forward.
A graduate of The Wharton School, Southern Methodist University, The King’s University and the University of Texas, he holds multiple advanced degrees — including doctorates in Theology and Economics — Dr. Thomas blends intellectual rigor with a deep spiritual compass. His life bridges the worlds of business, ministry, and community action, creating a unique model of servant leadership that prioritizes people over politics.
Through every season, his message remains the same: “My circumstances may have limited my movement, but they will never limit my mission.”
Those who know Dr. Thomas see not a man confined, but a man refined — focused on restoring faith, family, and opportunity in every corner of Colorado. His story is a living testament that true leadership isn’t about where you stand, but what you stand for.
As Corrina puts it, “Greg has always believed that community is an extension of family — and he loves this state like it’s his own household. He prays for Colorado, he plans for Colorado, and he fights for Colorado — because to him, Colorado is family.”
