I first began reporting in Southern Nevada in early 2016 as a reporter for the Desert Valley Times in Mesquite. I moved here from Oakland, Maine--my hometown of 6,000 people--after graduating from the University of Maine with a degree in journalism.
I've covered a number of issues and I received three first place awards at the 2017 Nevada Press Association Better Newspaper contest for Best Investigative Piece, Best News Feature, and Best Feature. I know the importance of community journalism and I'm excited to provide that to Las Vegas as the Local Editor for Patch Media.
Send any news tips, story suggestions, or Dan Marino career highlight reels to lucas.thomas@patch.com. Feel free to call me as well, 702-504-2516, and follow me on Twitter @LucasThomas14.
