Mike Thomas
Editor, Founder and Owner of Boca Post
Mike Thomas is the editor, founder, and owner of Boca Post, a South Florida local news publication covering Boca Raton, West Boca, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County courts, public safety, local government, traffic, development, and community news.
A South Florida native, Thomas has lived throughout Palm Beach County. He settled in Boca Raton, where he and his wife are raising their four children. His wife is from Boca Raton, giving his family deep personal ties to the community Boca Post serves every day.
Thomas founded Boca Post in 2021 with a simple goal: keep local news local, factual, and accessible. He started the publication after becoming frustrated with what he saw as a growing loss of objectivity in local journalism. Boca Post was built around a direct standard — report the facts, verify the source material, avoid political spin, and give readers clear information about what is happening in their own community.
As editor, Thomas oversees Boca Post’s newsroom standards, public-records reporting, corrections, editorial review, and source attribution practices. His reporting frequently relies on official records, court filings, law enforcement statements, city documents, public meeting materials, and direct agency communications. He takes particular pride in objective reporting and works to separate verified facts from speculation, commentary, and rumor.
Thomas holds both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in cybersecurity. His professional background includes work in cybersecurity, telecommunications, construction, security, and law enforcement training environments. That broad experience informs his approach to reporting, particularly in areas involving public safety, government operations, digital records, technology, accountability, and public trust.
Outside of Boca Post, Thomas is interested in family activities, technology, outdoors, local government, and community issues affecting South Florida families. He lives in West Boca Raton with his wife, their four children, and three dogs.
