Bio:
In addition to being an Endpoint Protection Specialist for DataLocker, Eddie Thomason is a bestselling author and entrepreneur who has been featured in ABC, CBS, & FOX news affiliates.
Eddie grew up in the inner city of Baltimore, MD which was named one of the top 5 most dangerous cities in America. He escaped poverty and danger by leveraging the principals he teaches to students across the country to excel in athletics, life and academics.
Eddie played four sports in High School while graduating at the top of his class while still actively participating in student leadership roles.
He became the first male in his family to graduate High School and College. He earned a full ride scholarship to a Division 1 college because of his academic and athletic prowess.
After graduating college, Eddied worked with multiple Fortune 500 companies to improve their revenue and was named one of the top business professionals by the Chamber of Commerce.
Through his academic and professional career he has learned to balance a busy workload and still make it work including playing sports, working a job from the age of 9 and being actively involved in leadership roles.
Eddie hosts the popular “Curse Breaker Podcast” that teaches young adults how to break self-limiting beliefs so they can pursue a life they’re passionate about living! Eddie believes that students either can focus on what’s wrong with their situation or figure out what actions they can take to make them right.
When he’s not delivering presentations to students across the country he can be found creating highly sought after cutting boards and wood furniture with his passion project ET Woodworks.
Eddie hopes to inspire the next generation to realize that the only limits are the ones we put on ourselves. The only thing Eddie loves more than impacting lives through his speaking engagements and work is spending time with his wife and two sons.
