Thomas Cochran

Chief Financial Officer

Thomas came to Jackson in 2015 with no long term plan at the time other than to spend the winter skiing with friends. Not surprisingly he decided to stay, and given his aptitude for numbers his first job was as an auditor at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

He was one of the first team members at New West and he has been a key contributor to the growth of the company over the years. Thomas enjoys managing and leading a high performing team and working with motivated coworkers. His primary responsibilities are overseeing the finance, accounting, and IT departments.

Thomas has a diverse background including video gaming; in college he built a large virtual video game gold trading company. When he decided to make the switch to something more tangible, he found that the world of real estate and construction was the perfect fit.

In his spare time, Thomas and his girlfriend Maggie enjoy exploring the outdoors and spending time with their pup Willie.
