Thomas Horner, a Partner at Brighton Partners, Has Passed Away

Thomas Horner was an extraordinary individual who cared deeply about everyone – most especially his family. He enjoyed traveling, taking pictures and skiing during wintertime.

Brighton Partners had him as one of their partners and provided services in areas including systems, reporting, procurement and business improvement initiatives for clients.

Early Life and Education

Thomas Horner was born in Skipton, England as the eldest of five children and lived with them on Commercial Street. Unfortunately two younger brothers passed away quickly – one at eighteen months [1].

His senior project comparing dinosaur fossils from Montana with Alberta impressed the judge, who invited him to study geology at the University of Montana. Unfortunately, Horner eventually abandoned this plan and instead became an amateur truck driver while spending weekends hunting for dinosaur fossils.

Horner holds that Triceratops and Torosaurus are one in the same species, an opinion not shared by all paleontologists. He currently holds positions as Regents Professor of Palaeontology and Presidential Fellow at Chapman University in California as well as serving as consulting scientist to National Geographic.

Professional Career

Horner works closely with portfolio company personnel on systems, reporting, procurement and business improvement initiatives as part of his role at Brighton Partners. Additionally, he assists clients with business development and financing activities.

Horner was so inspired by his senior project comparing dinosaur fossils from Montana and Alberta that an enthusiastic judge awarded him a geology scholarship to university. While working full time driving trucks for income support, on weekends Horner would spend his time searching for dinosaur remains.

For over 35 years, he served Minnesota Multi Housing Association as its legal counsel and lobbyist – playing an essential role in shaping state landlord-tenant law according to John Elwood, president of this organization.
