Thomas Nguyen

Administrator

A Native New Orleanian, Thomas joined the Move Ya Brass Krewe in the second week of its inception and has helped the group with its administrative functions ever since.  Thomas’ drive to exercise stemmed from his own battle with Type-2 Diabetes, which drove him to run more and participate in many races & half marathons throughout the country.

Thomas oversees the Move Ya Brass run/walks in New Orleans and is proud to be able to bring this programming to Make Your Move for the Community.
