RYAN THOMAS, FUEL TAX SPECIALIST

I grew up in the hamlet of Whitevale, Ontario and now reside in Brooklin, Ontario with my wife and 2 girls.  In 1996 I graduated from Carleton University with an Environmental Studies degree.  In 2001 while working with IBM Canada I became a partner/operator with Muskoka Septic Services, a long term loyal client of Holly Transportation Services Inc. (HTS).

I later accepted a contract role as the Sales Manager with Universal Studios leading me to accept a full-time role as the Director of Sales Planning with Anchor Bay Entertainment.  With Anchor Bay, I was the first point of contact for film analytics and financials.  I also created yearly budgets and reported monthly P&L reports to the parent company Starz.  After Starz was acquired by Lionsgate, I became the Director of Sales and Acquisitions with United Front Entertainment.  Here I added film purchasing and contract negotiating to my resume despite the decline in the film industry.

I am now enjoying life outside of the office, meeting new people and seeing new places but most importantly helping local businesses get back their government fuel tax.
