Experience: I started my career in the fire protection industry as an apprentice in 1998. I worked my way up to service technician foreman from 2000-2011, obtained my RME-I license in 2011 and worked as an inspector until 2013. I then joined Diamondback Fire Protection as Operations Manager, overseeing day to day operations, sales, estimating, system layouts and scheduling.

Richard Thomas
Service & Inspections Manager
Key Focus: Leadership of the Inspections and Service team, helping to ensure our customers get the very best experience we can offer.
Experience: I have 21 years of experience in the installation, service and inspections of fire protection systems. In 1998 after serving honorably in the US Army 1992-1998, I started working as an install helper for a fire alarm company. I quickly progressed taking and passing the fire alarm license test after only 6 months. Fast forward to today and I have worked, lead and managed at some of the highest levels in our industry and I am proud to be apart of the Diamondback Fire Protection team. I look forward to what we can accomplish here in the future to come.
Special Skill: I am an avid sporting clay shooter and bird/hog hunter.
