About TMG

THOMAS MATHEW GRAHAM

TMG sparks conversation, restores identity, and builds bridges between spirit, story, and community. Join us to encourage men to rise, lead with strength, honour their culture, and carry the character of Christ.

Proud Heritage

I am a proud Darkinjung & Gadigal man living on Awabakal Country in Newcastle, Australia. My identity and culture are the bedrock of my life and business. They guide my values, my leadership, and my commitment to community. Every project I lead carries my people’s stories, symbols, and spirit — ensuring that my heritage is not just remembered, but lived.

Faith as My Foundation

TMG is more than initials — it’s a calling. My life is built on Jesus Christ, and my vision is to help men heal, walk in truth, and lead with courage. Faith isn’t a part of me; it is the core of who I am. It shapes my decisions, humbles my leadership, and drives my mission to build a brotherhood where faith and culture walk side by side.

A Loss that Changed Everything

At 17, I lost my father to Coronary Artery Disease 2 days before his 48th birthday. That moment shattered me. The man who taught me resilience, integrity, and discipline was gone overnight. In my grief, I found refuge in the church, but I also unintentionally distanced myself from my grieving family. That season taught me about pain, healing, and the importance of presence.

Brotherhood in Rugby League

Since 2017, rugby league has been more than a sport to me — it’s been a community. From my first game as a referee to officiating at the Koori Knockout and PCYC Nations of Origin, I’ve experienced the pride, spirit, and unity that sport can bring. The field has been a classroom for resilience, communication, discipline, and leadership.

The Power of Storytelling

In 2018, a single radio interview led me into a three-year role as Indigenous Production Manager at Rhema FM. There, I produced faith-based, culturally rich programs that celebrated identity, healing, and truth. I saw firsthand the power of amplifying Indigenous voices and using media to bring communities together.

Creativity with Culture

In 2023, I was honoured to be one of six Aboriginal artists creating a large-scale artwork for the John Hunter Hospital Health & Innovation Precinct. This piece represents healing, Country, and community legacy — a reflection of my belief that art can be both a gift and a legacy.

A Journey Through Business

From my early years as a chef to leading multiple ventures, my path in business has been one of resilience, risk, and reinvention. I’ve built, failed, learned, and rebuilt. Each experience, whether a success or setback, has been a step toward leading TMG — a movement to raise men into the Masculine Giants they were created to be.

Healing & Humility

In 2024, I undertook 21 sessions of counselling, daily Scripture journaling, and deep reflection. I confronted past mistakes, especially in how I led some of my ventures. God reminded me that I am the vessel, not the source — and that true leadership is service.

Through it all, one truth has stayed the same — my life is built on faith, culture, and a deep desire to see men rise into who they were meant to be. I have walked through loss, failure, success, and seasons of deep reflection, and I know that every part of my story has been preparing me for this moment. The victories have been humbling, but the failures have been just as important — teaching me lessons about humility, service, and the kind of leader I want to be.

TMG was never meant to be just another brand. It is a movement, a brotherhood, and a safe place for men to grow in strength, healing, and authenticity. It’s about building environments where faith and culture work hand in hand — where a man can carry his heritage with pride while also walking in biblical truth. I believe that when men are healthy in spirit, mind, and purpose, they naturally become pillars in their families, workplaces, and communities.

Every thread of my journey — from the kitchens where I learned discipline, to the rugby league fields where I learned teamwork, to the radio studios where I found my voice — has shaped TMG’s DNA. It is a brand rooted in real experience, not theory. I have lived the mistakes, faced the consequences, and done the work to heal. And now, I stand with a vision that is bigger than myself: to raise up men who will stand tall in faith, strong in identity, and courageous in leadership.

This is only the beginning. TMG exists for every man who feels called to rise above his circumstances, for every leader who wants to build with integrity, and for every brother who knows we are stronger together. In partnership with heaven, and in honour of culture, we will rise. My prayer is that as you connect with TMG, you don’t just see a brand — you see a living testimony that God can turn brokenness into purpose, and that the best chapters are still to be written. Let’s build something eternal — together.
