About David Thomasee

• Residential & Commercial Real Estate

 

You know, life's journey has a way of shaping us, and David’s journey has been nothing short of diverse and exciting. From his beginnings in Panama City to his current role as a New Real Estate Agent with the Dien and Andrew Real Estate Group at Think Real Estate. His personal journey and experiences along the way have shaped his approach to both work and life.

David’s roots in Panama City run deep, having moved here with his family in 1986. He spent his childhood at many of the historic landmarks only the locals remember and watched as Bay County continued to grow. After graduating from Bay High School in 1998, he realized his passion for law enforcement. He earned his law enforcement certification at Gulf Coast State College in 2003 and spent the next decade of his life as a dedicated police officer, primarily with the Panama City Police Department. His time there offered a rich array of roles, including assignments in Patrol, the Criminal Investigations Division, and Community Policing. His dedication was recognized with honors, such as the Medal of Distinction and a Life Saving Award.

In 2013, David embarked on a new chapter, shifting his focus to education. He began as the Campus Safety Director at Gulf Coast State College, gradually ascending the ranks to his current position as the Executive Director of Operations, overseeing a diverse spectrum of departments. Throughout this journey, David continued his education, earning both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Troy University. The pinnacle of his academic pursuit arrived in 2022 with the completion of his Doctorate in Education from Florida State University.

While his professional endeavors are significant, his heart lies with his family. Emily, his wife and partner in life, is a licensed architect and project manager. Their partnership began in 2005 and grew into a wonderful marriage in 2010. Together, they are proud parents to Xander, a recent graduate from the University of Central Florida, and Delaney, a fiery little red head who has just begun the 3rd grade and a third season of competition cheerleading.

During moments away from work, you'll often find David immersed in woodworking projects, tending to home renovations, or casting a line while fishing. The tranquil allure of the water has a way of grounding him. Additionally, David is known among friends for his knack for discovering hidden gems within our community – whether it's a quaint eatery, an eclectic store, or a unique local experience.

When it comes to real estate, he firmly believes in delivering a blend of professionalism and personal connection. With a foundation of experience, knowledge, and an unwavering work ethic, David is committed to providing the exceptional service you deserve.
