  Dallas native, David Thomas, graduated from Texas Tech University with a Business Degree in Marketing. Thomas paid for 90% of his college expenses by selling used cars in Lubbock and Dallas, averaging 25 cars a month while a full-time student.

  Upon graduation, he was hired by Carl Sewell & continued for 17 years. He was the top producing Lexus USA Sales Associate with over 3,000 Lexus retail sales and leases.

  In 2001, Thomas bought a small struggling Nissan dealership in Odessa, Texas. He sold it in 2003 for four times the initial investment. In 2002, Thomas was awarded the open Subaru point in Dallas, Texas from SOA. In 2006, he opened the first of the new design facilities for Subaru's "antenna store" in Plano, Texas. Plano was the first Subaru dealer to sell over 100 retail units in a month in the southern US. Thomas sold the majority of his interest in Subaru in 2011 to his business partner.

  In 2011, Thomas was recruited by a West Texas Group to help hire, train, and grow leasing in West Texas. Later that year, he opened Prime Capital Auto Lease Dallas in a one room small office. First month sales revenue was under $200,000 on three lease deals. Fast forward to June 2018, monthly sales, leasing, and service revenue is $3m+ a month and a team of consistent producers.

  Thomas is married to Deborah Thomas who just celebrated her 29th year at Southwest Airlines at age 50.
