Employee Profile: Theresa "TC" Thomas

TC Thomas

 Many of us have come to know VisionAIR over the past 5, 10, even 15 years.  There are only a small handful of people who have been closely associated with VisionAIR for the past 22 years…since 1989…since the 1st Annual Users’ Conference…since the very beginning.

While Theresa Thomas—better known as TC—has been employed by VisionAIR for the past 17 years, she was also a client for 5 years prior.  She is the only person who has participated in all 22 VisionAIR Annual Users’ Conferences!

Currently, and for the past two years, she has been a Sr. Sales Engineer with product specialties in VisionRMS, VisionJAIL, VisionFBR, and VisionINFORM.  Travelling typically six to eight weeks in a row, she focuses on providing product demonstrations and conducting workflows to both prospective as well as existing clients.  Additionally, she works on responding to technical specifications in request for proposals.

TC has had many roles over the years with VisionAIR in Client Services, Training, Product Management, and Business Development.  She has been truly dedicated to each and every one of her roles as well as our clients.

For the past 23 years, TC has been a Sheriff’s Deputy.  She has also served as Correction Officer, Patrol Officer, Investigator, and Records Clerk.  She has a Criminal Justice degree as well as Basic Law Enforcement Education Training and Certification and re-certification on legal issues each year.  TC is a member of AJA and ACA and holds the following certifications:

•  NC Jail Officers Certification
•  Advanced LEO Certificate
•  Interview and Interrogation Certificate
•  NCIC Certified
•  Firearms Qualification Certificates

“I enjoy coming to work each day because we make a difference with what we do in people’s lives across the United States,” said TC.  “I really enjoy my team and the company I work for; they have always supported me professionally and personally.  I especially love the VisionAIR clients; they are like family and friends to me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a small difference in your lives.”
