During his elementary and middle school years, he began writing books.

Thompson pursued higher education at the University of Houston-Downtown, completing a business degree in Fall 2026, with plans to continue his studies to obtain a Master of Business Administration (MBA).
Thompson began developing his fantasy story series, World of the Whimsical, in 2023. He is best known for pioneering the "written album" concept in literature, a novel format utilized in his prose anthologies.
