“When I was little and individuals asked me what I wanted to be. I would always say “a cowboy, a doctor, and an All-American”. Adults would always be quick to tell me I would have to pick one. Well, I am still trying to show them. I have been an All-American athlete, have been a doctor for over 10 years, and now working toward being a Wyoming cowboy.” says Dr. Thoma.
In 2022, he was able to purchase a small ranch outside Cody. This land is in the valley that he had passed through in 1988 and announced to his parents that he would live there some day.
