Sue Thomas

Deaf FBI Special Agent
Captivating her audience and leaving them speechless is the trademark of Sue Thomas. The inspiration behind the award-winning family TV series, SUE THOMAS: FBEye,‎ she not only has captured the hearts of millions of Americans but also hearts in 64 nations around the world where the TV show is syndicated.

Born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, Sue faced overwhelming odds when at the age of 18 months she became profoundly deaf.  Instead of institutionalizing Sue, her dedicated parents set out to provide the tools that would enable Sue to live and survive in the world of sound. It was imperative to them that little Sue would learn to speak, even though she heard nothing. Years of speech therapy gave her the voice that would one day be heard around the world. Deemed “a dummy” and put into the slow learner class throughout her public school days she was finally discovered by her typing teacher who saw the raw potential that was concealed by Sue’s deafness. Through the life of this teacher, Sue went on to college where she studied Political Science, International Relations and received her BS degree before doing post-graduate work in counseling at Case Western Reserve and Columbia Bible College and Seminary. The highlight of her professional career was in Washington, DC, where her unique lip-reading abilities were recruited by the FBI.

There is a reason Sue has been invited to speak in every denomination, for Sunday worship, youth events, leadership conferences, mother~daughter banquets, retreats, and conventions. Sue is a living testimony that the grace of God is sufficient. Her powerful story of overcoming the odds gives her a clear voice that resonates with her audiences.

Her humor is contagious, and her stories are compelling. Most of all she inspires through her love for God and her desire to make Him known by encouraging His people to become all He created them to be.
