William Thomas

William is a leadership consultant working throughout Asia with his own company, Designing Leaders LLC. A retired US Air Force officer and former university professor, he only began running at age 42. Now, at age 50, he is a member of the 7 Continents Marathon Club, and with this race he will complete the Marathon Grand Slam. He credits his parents Ray and Rosemary for providing strong examples for him to follow, and his friends Ethan Ngo, Linh Le, and Zuoren Pan for encouraging his personal fitness efforts and supporting him at races around the globe. William runs with the New Balance Runners in Singapore, and appreciates their experience and wisdom as he goes from running near the equator to running at the top of the world. He is currently an ambassador for the Abbott World Marathon Majors, and posts about his adventures at www.facebook.com/DrWilliamThomas.
