Thomas Good, Jr. is a Navy veteran who serves as Vice Mayor for the City of Pembroke Pines, where he was first elected as City Commissioner in 2018. He attended Sheridan Park Elementary and Driftwood Middle School and upon graduation from Cooper City High School in 1977, he joined the military. Unsure of his path, and coming from an economically challenged home, financing a degree from a four-year university was not a viable option. He served in the Navy for six years while stationed on the USS Caron and is a staunch advocate for those who’ve served.

Thomas supports advancing collaborative partnerships between municipalities, trade associations, and school districts’ vocational education programs. He is confident that students can benefit greatly by learning vital skills that can lead to meaningful careers. His teacher, Mr. Joiner, taught him that diagnosing and fixing an automobile increased his knowledge and his ability to utilize those same deductive lessons in any setting. To this day, Thomas believes that to continually improve and succeed, one must practice overcoming resistance. Thomas attended Broward College and the University of Florida, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in engineering and a master’s degree in business.
