Thomas Grassberger

Thomas Grassberger was born in Bruck an der Mur, Styria, Austria on September 12 1977. Raising up in the Austrian Alps was very exiting. Tennis. Skiing, Snowboarding, Soccer. When he was around 12 years old he realized his fascination for American English. Where did it come from? Why was he different from other kids his age? He would have dreams where he would see and hear himself speak English. He started dreaming about the United States of America. Nobody understood. So he struggled through school until he could not do it any more. His will to go, see, and experience this new World got stronger and stronger. One day that dream came true. He met this wonderful family from Houston, Texas on a trip through Italy. They invited him to come and stay with them for 3 months. Can you imagine how he felt? From that moment on his life changed. He would be in Austria for a few months, work in Food & Beverage, summer and winter seasons, save up all his money to go again. California-Austria-California-Austria. Several times back and forth until he landed in Naples, Florida. He was on a different Visa at that time and was able to apply for a green card which went through after more than 3 years not leaving the country. The hotel and resort industry was a great help for him for many years. But that was not the only reason why he left his home country. Arnold Schwarzenegger was on his mind for many years. He was an inspiration, a man he looked up to, somebody who came from the same background, even the same State in Austria. How far could a man go with the power of his mind? No matter where you came from, with your mind you could change every negative thought to a positive one and your life would always change to the best!!! Thomas Grassberger started his modeling and acting career in Miami, Tampa and Orlando Florida. He was able to built a very impressive Portfolio in about one year. Print, Commercials, Film, Runway and Theater. He loved it very much and for some reason one day he had the opportunity to meet the King of Pop, Michael Jackson in person, while working on a TV comedy called Trigger happy. After that most amazing moment everything changed again in his life. Within days he left Florida and came to the Big Island of Hawaii. That was where he found Jesus Christ and the beauty of Spirit. With peace in his mind he met his now wife Mrs Chris Barreto, Fashion designer from Brazil. His modeling and acting has been very successful all over the Hawaiian islands. With mind, body and Spirit in harmony he believes everything is possible, to be very successful and able to make a difference in people's lives. With a wonderful wife and friends around him, he is able to live in the moment. His goals for the near future is a main part in a national TV show as well as a main part in a TV movie.
