He played Division I basketball while attending the University of Northern Colorado’s Monfort School of Business. Thanasi graduated Magna Cum Laude with two Bachelor of Science degrees in Finance and Management. He went on to complete his Masters of Finance at the D’Amore McKim School of Business at Northeastern University.

Thanasi’s roots in North Central Phoenix go deep. Growing up in the Madison School district, his father owned Christos Ristorante, a 35-year-old staple of the community. Outside the office, Thanasi loves spending time with his wife Melissa and their two children, Sophia and Marco. He loves to cook, coach basketball and take long walks on the bridal path. He prides himself on giving his time to his community through the Executive Council Charities and Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.
