Black Diamond PR Firm today announces 3X Olympic Hurdler, Mikel Thomas, as new Global Brand Ambassador

Black Diamond PR Firm’s new campaign designed to launch their Professional Athlete Management and Marketing Division is now underway, backed by powerful professional athletes across the country.
" I’m excited to work with such an amazing group. With the work they have done in the past, I am excited about  the bright future we can share together. I am looking forward to shaking up the world, impacting the community, and inspiring the hero in us all. I am ready to shine like a diamond!”

A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Mikel moved to Brooklyn, NY, where he earned multiple All-American and National Champion, while attending Transit Tech. He then moved on to the University of Kentucky where he would become the school's record holder, All-SEC and All American in an event he wasn’t even recruited for. One to define the odds, he continued to develop in the event to make his first Olympic team in 2008 ( Beijing, China) while still at the University of Kentucky.

Mikel continued to grow in the sport to make serval international teams, including 5 World Championships and a total of 3 Olympic games(Beijing 08, London 12, Rio 16). A student of the sport, Mikel has also be able to make coaching contributions to notable NCAA programs such as Florida, Nebraska and his alma-mater, Kentucky. In following his need to give and serve, Mikel also pursed a childhood dream of becoming a firefighter.
“Our firm is looking forward to representing Mikel Thomas as he makes another run at the next Olympics, “ Brandy Runyan, Black Diamond PR Firm’s CEO said. “Mikel has a heart of gold and dreams of inspiring everyone around him, that is definitely something we want to be part of and help show the world”.

As a Global Ambassador through sport, and now public service, he gladly continues to be a pillar of hope and inspiration for the community. Mikel lives, trains, and works in the Atlanta area.

Thomas will begin appearing on behalf of Black Diamond PR Firm across all media platforms beginning January 2019.
