Known for his forceful yet charming personality, Thomas Dimitroff has reshaped manager positions in football.  Not one to shy away from a challenge, general manager Dimitroff rebuilt the Atlanta Falcon franchise when no one else dared to. The team was plagued with several controversies from quarterback Michael Vick facing dog-fighting charges to coach Bobby Petrino abruptly quitting to take a coaching position at the University of Arkansas in 2007. Even so, Dimitroff rose to the occasion and as a result, has orchestrated the turnaround of the team in just one season. With his experience as a standout defensive back and captain at the University of Guelph coupled with his ascension through the scouting trails as a combine/BLESTO Scout, an Area Scout, National Scout, College Director of Scouting to his current position, Dimitroff has the knowledge  and passion to leverage the Falcons to even more success in the future. Under his leadership, the Falcons’s record surpassed their 4-12 season from hell in 2007, as Dimitroff used every facet of his football experience to strategically hire coach Mike Smith, release four veterans,  round out the roster with seven rookies, among other tactful decisions.  Though young, Dimitroff is recognized as one of the most trustworthy executives in the sports industry and will undoubtedly continue to be a dominant and respected force for years to come. Thomas and his wife, Angeline, have a young son, Mason, and currently reside in Atlanta.
