Meet Mary

Entrepreneur | Invstor | Multi-Industry Founder

Mary K. Thomas is an entrepreneur, investor, and multi-industry found who started her career at age 22, building her first business from the ground up with minimal resources.

Over the course of her career, she developed, scaled, and successfully exited multiple companies, including FastTrack Staffing, sold in 2025, and EQUIstaff, sold in early 2026. Her work spans staffing, equine industry recruiting, and small business development, with a consistent focus on identifying niche opportunities and building long-term value.

Horses have been a passion since childhood, shaping both her peronsal life and her professional path. Today, she is actively involved in thoroughbred racing through Team EQUIstaff, focusing on developing, and managing high-quality thoroughbreds.

In addition to her business and equine pursuits, Mary has been deeply involved in ballroom dance for over 10 years. A former dance studio owner, she built and sold the business and continues to train and compete, bringing the same discipline and competetive drive to dance as she has in business.

Mary is also an active real estate investor and land steward. She is currently developing Woods of Selene, a 203-acre non-development property in Marion County, Florida, designed as a retreat for wildlife impacted by surrounding growth.

Giving back is an important part of her life. In 2010, she founded the Florida Fun Mini Match, an annual fundraising ballroom competition benefiting the Marion Therapeutic Riding Association.

Mary spends time in Ocala and Atlantic Beach, Florida, and is currently focused on thoroughbred rancing, stratgetic investments, land stewardship, and new ventures.
