Parent, Police Chief and Ph.D.
When Joseph E. Thomas Jr. saw his first SkillsUSA Championships in 2007, he felt compelled to write about it. The event not only impressed him as a parent (son Ryan competed in Robotics and Automation Technology) but as a Ph.D. in educational leadership. Thomas, who is police chief in Southfield, Mich., also teaches at universities, community colleges, and police and fire academies. As an ambassador to the U.S. Army Reserve, Thomas holds the rank of major general.
