PhD Thomas O’Grady – In the military, specifically at the Defense Language Institute, Thomas gained the confidence that he could push himself much further than he could imagine.

 

Thomas has an open offer to mentor service members with the message, “the training in the military and the skill they gained from their experiences and training will carry them through life to success.”

 

Thomas received his PhD in Mathematical and Statistical Economics from the University of California at Berkeley. At the age of 12, he decided he wanted to be an entrepreneur. After joining the Army during Vietnam, he rose to the top in Soviet intelligence, broke Soviet codes 3 times. As his life evolved he found himself advising Lee Iacocca and Alan Greenspan, and companies including Toyota, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, TRW, Fuji and Microsoft. He has been on TV and radio as an expert over 300 times and in the print media, newspapers and magazines. On one day, he appeared in 6 different articles in USA Today and Vogue.

Thomas is currently writing a book entitled “Mechanics for Breakthrough Success” and for every book sold, he will donate a book to the military.
