01The story

How DVM got here.

01
UNC Charlotte

Started in college, the hard way

While earning his marketing degree, Thomas ran a media production company with a couple of classmates. Real clients, real deadlines. COVID ended the company, not the lesson: local businesses live and die by the customers they can reach.

02
Class of 2021

B.S.B.A. in Marketing

Graduated from UNC Charlotte with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Marketing, and went straight into the digital marketing space. He has been in it every day since.

03
4 startup years

Learned how to ship

Four years inside a startup after graduating. Small teams, fast releases, and no room for work that does not pull its weight. That pace is now the DVM standard: sites shipped in days, not weeks.

04
Today

Digital Views Media

Now Thomas runs DVM full time, building websites, Google Business Profiles, and AI front-office systems for home service businesses. Every client works with him directly.

02What he believes

Work worth trusting.

Faith and honest work

Thomas is a Christian, and it shapes how he does business. Do honest work, tell the truth about what something costs and what it will do, and treat every client the way you would want your own family treated.

Helping people is the point

The favorite part of the job is not the code or the design. It is a business owner getting a lead they would have missed. That is the whole product.

Serious about AI, not hype

Thomas has completed all of Anthropic's official courses. Anthropic is the company behind Claude, one of the leading AI models. The AI in DVM's stack is built on that training, not on buzzwords.
