Thomas Wilson is a passionate storyteller, advocate, and mentor dedicated to creating spaces where all voices are heard and valued. Growing up in Manchester, New Hampshire, he faced the challenges of neurodiversity, bullying, and a system that often failed to support him. Yet, through the power of storytelling—found in poetry, novels, and music—he discovered a refuge, a source of strength, and a pathway to resilience. He became a peer specialist, working within agencies that recognized his passion and drive. Through his mentorship, he has helped others navigate personal challenges, gain independence, and build confidence in their own voices.Today, Thomas channels his storytelling expertise into the world of Dungeons & Dragons, leveraging the game’s immersive, narrative-driven structure as a powerful tool for mentorship, community-building, and personal growth. As a group facilitator and educator, he helps individuals connect, collaborate, and redefine their own paths in ways that are meaningful to them.With over 30 years of lived experience, Thomas remains committed to building bridges—creating inclusive spaces where storytelling fosters connection, healing, and joy. His mission is to ensure that every individual, regardless of background or challenge, finds a place where they are seen, heard, and empowered.Contact Thomas at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-wilson-42762927b/ or ndttrpg@gmail.com
