Nathan Thomas has made history as the world's youngest male professor after earning a Guinness World Record for beginning his teaching career at just 18 years and 346 days old. A lifelong STEM enthusiast, Thomas began taking college classes at age 10 and earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering by the time he was 18. He then returned to Miami Dade College, this time as an engineering professor teaching students his own age. Thomas broke a record that had stood for more than 300 years, proving that talent, curiosity, and determination can thrive regardless of age. Today, he continues teaching while pursuing a law degree focused on intellectual property in STEM. He hopes his journey inspires others to embrace lifelong learning and shows that everyone's path to success is unique.
