Ray Thomas is a project architect at HH Architects starting in 2004. Before HH, Ray worked in his home community of Bryan/College Station for 10 years working on an eclectic mix of project types ranging from high-end restaurants to university projects, a few of which also included construction management. This “hands on” approach and wide-ranging diversity in projects set the basis for Ray’s real desire to use his skills and experience to participate in advancing God’s kingdom. While studying architecture at Texas A&M University Ray was exposed to the concepts of passive design and sustainable architecture which fueled a desire for smarter building design. Ray’s hobbies include music (especially in the form of percussion), woodworking & construction, and sports recreation. Ray has taken the role of servant in his community at Church, serving with Habitat for Humanity & Elder Aid organizations.
