Aloha, I'm Thomas Craig VIII.
I was born and raised on the island of O‘ahu, in the tight-knit community of Mililani, Hawai‘i. After graduating from the University of Hawai‘i, I landed a job at a global sports brand—an incredible opportunity that eventually took me to Los Angeles. It was there, surrounded by new possibilities, that my love for aviation truly began to take flight.
But everything changed in 2019, when I survived a life-altering plane crash.
That moment—and the years of recovery that followed—revealed a powerful truth: resilience, positivity, and even humor can rise from unimaginable pain.
Here on The Sick Burn Podcast, we focus on exploring the bright side of life’s darkest moments.
Through honest, uplifting, and sometimes downright hilarious conversations, we dive into how people face trauma, depression, adversity, and pain—and still find reasons to hope, heal, and laugh.
