Thomas O'Sullivan

Raised in the Midwest, Thomas transplanted to Southwest Washington in 2016. With nearly 20 years in the gaming industry, he was selected by ilani to join the marketing team during their opening. Upon arriving from Kansas City with his wife Wendy and three kids (Hailey, Gavin, and Elias), decided to become tourist in their new home. They have since spent their time exploring the Pacific Northwest in all its splendor, enjoying everything from the mountains to the coast.

Professionally, Thomas continues to work at ilani as the Director of Casino Marketing. In this role he oversees relationships with VIP guests and helps to ensure that every experience is exceptional for those visiting. During his time in the gaming industry, Thomas has helped open many properties across the country, but Washington found a special place in his heart, and he is happy to call this home.

Along his personal and business travels through the PNW, Thomas has been able to reconnect with much of his Pacific Islander heritage. Making friends throughout the community, he proudly works with a new group that is seeking to revitalize the downtown Vancouver art district. It was through these efforts that he connected with the Rotary Club of Three Creeks and received the opportunity to be part of Dancing with the Local Stars! Seeing the efforts, values, and philanthropy of the group, Thomas was moved to help raise funds to support their cause.

Since dancing is not his forte, he’ll be relying on his partner Kristina to show him the ropes!
