At the same time, we’re proud to introduce the next chapter for Outdoor Illumination North Carolina. Chris Thomas has taken the helm as owner, and working alongside him is General Manager Colby Dice. Together, they bring a renewed passion for excellence, craftsmanship, and coastal living to the Carolinas.
Chris, a longtime Wilmington resident, is deeply rooted in the community he now serves. He and his wife, Leah, both attended UNCW, where they met, and today they are raising their 3-year-old daughter, Lily, along with their dog, Basil (pronounced “Baa-zil,” like in The Great Mouse Detective). For Chris, taking on this business is not just a professional endeavor, but a personal one—and he is honored to continue the tradition of excellence that Outdoor Illumination is known for.
Working with Chris is General Manager Colby Dice, who brings a strong background in landscape management, design, and customer service. Originally from a small town in south-central Pennsylvania, Colby grew up with a love of the outdoors, family, and sports. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University in 2018, he and his wife Sierra moved to North Carolina to pursue their dream of coastal living. Today, Colby and Sierra are raising their two children, Quinn and Maddox, along with their two dogs, Cedar and Ashton, in Winnabow.
