A transplant from San Diego, California, Xavier Thomas has built strong roots in the Washington Metropolitan Area, where he continues to contribute to both business and community life.

In 2009, he helped to build and lead a grassroots, not-for-profit organization that mentored at-risk young men and adults. What began as a few like-minded friends wanting to strengthen their community evolved into a highly effective mentoring effort with over 100 volunteers. The organization delivered health and wellness programs, job training, tutoring, mentoring, and cultural activities, with more than 850 mentees ultimately benefiting from its work in the greater Prince George’s County community.

In September 2025, following Darryl Barnes’ transition to a new role with the State of Maryland, Xavier stepped into the role of President & CEO of the Bi-County Business Roundtable. Having helped to co-found the Roundtable and establish its Four Pillars — Advocacy, Access to Capital, Contracting, and Business Training — he is committed to maintaining continuity while also expanding the organization’s reach, strengthening resources, and delivering meaningful value to businesses across the region.
