He focuses his efforts on overseeing day-to-day operations while sponsoring and hosting tournaments for Magic: The Gathering games.
WENATCHEE, WA, December 27, 2022 /24-7press release/ — Thaddeus Robert Henry Deane was included in the Marquis Who’s Who. As in all biographical volumes of the Marquis Who’s Who, the individuals profiled are selected using current reference values. Factors such as position, notable achievements, visibility and notoriety in a field are considered during the selection process.
With more than 20 years of leadership excellence, Mr. Deane has made a name for himself leading his own company. In this capacity, he owns the game store Sanctuary in Wenatchee, Washington.
Since May 10, 1999, he has focused his efforts on overseeing day-to-day operations while sponsoring and hosting tournaments for Magic: The Gathering games. Outside of his primary career endeavors, he supports the efforts of the local fire and police officers with annual donations.
Before beginning his private career, Mr. Deane served with honor in the United States Navy SEALs from 1987 until his retirement in 1993. He was stationed with SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One (SDVT-1) where he was a distinguished pilot for the SDV.
He received an Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Batter (ASVAB) score of 93, which allowed him to complete a program at Sonar Technician School (A-School) and receive a Sonar Technician rating. Years later, however, he eventually had to change his rating from Sonar Tech to Storekeeper to ensure his ability to reach the rank of E4, which was his final rank before the end of his enlistment. Not previously working as a sonar tech, he passed his tests but was not advanced (PNA) due to competing results from the fleet. (God has his ways…isn’t it interesting that Mr. Deane later became a shopkeeper!)
With the foresight to register for the Montgomery GI Bill during Navy boot camp, by the end of his service Mr. Deane was able to use the GI Bill to register for college courses to further his education.
Prior to his current role at Sanctuary, Mr Deane became part of the Leavenworth Forest Service Fire Service machine crew upon his discharge from the Navy in 1993. After a year, he joined the Chelan Rappellers and stayed with them for two more years, rappelling from helicopters to the backcountry to help fight and suppress wildfires.
As a seasonal job, this enabled Mr. Deane to attend college during the winter months.
He then worked seasonally at Pirelli Jacobson (96′ to 99′), during which time he was also a roofer and even served as a bouncer at the Clearwater Bar for a few years, 2001-2003.
During his career at Sanctuary, Mr. Deane earned an Associate of Arts degree in Network Administration from Wenatchee Valley College in 2007.
Mr. Deane intends to continue his business for years to come and being a kind person by nature, he strives to make a positive difference in everything he does.
While he knows it’s a cliché to say so, he’s nonetheless known for saying, “I’m honestly trying to make the world around me a better place as I strive daily to make my Heavenly Father proud.” on me.”
HOO-YAH & God bless ALL who stand for good…!
