Tina Holt, manager of Long & Foster Real Estate’s Oceanfront/Coastal office, congratulates Thom Drinkard on celebrating his first anniversary as a sales associate with Long & Foster Real Estate.

“We offer our sincerest congratulations, as well as thanks, to Thom, for his dedicated work,” said Gary Scott, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Thom is one of many examples of Long & Foster’s highly-trained professionals who go to great lengths to best serve clients seeking the total homeownership experience, and we wish him continued success in his real estate career.”

Drinkard has been affiliated with the Oceanfront/Coastal office for the past year and is an active member of the Hampton Roads Realtors Association.

“I was very attracted to the professionalism of the organization,” said Drinkard. “It was suggested by a family member who is a Realtor with another organization, that if I was interested in a career with Real Estate to have a discussion with Tina Holt and Jeremy Johnson. After doing so, I was convinced this was the organization I wanted to be associated with and represent.”

Drinkard grew up between Norfolk and Virginia Beach and is very active in his community. He has held the offices of secretary, treasurer, vice president and president of The Youth Foundation Services of Virginia Beach. Over the years, he has managed to raise and donate over $10 M to this organization which assists women and children in the Tidewater area. He is also a member of the Kiwanis Club of Virginia Beach.

A resident of Virginia Beach, Drinkard and his wife Colleen enjoy working on home improvement projects, gardening and boating.
