A local standout at El Cerrito High, Story-Harden starred in football and baseball before getting drafted in the 8th Round of the 1998 Amatuer Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

This is also Thomari's 1st year as a scout for the Florida Marlins. While in Australia he and 4 other scouts are able to evaluate player talent over an extended amount of time while providing hands on training to development talent.
Thomari has been able to learn form the guru of exposure tournaments, Mr. Bob Williams. As a former player of the Area Code games and Goodwill Series, Story-Harden was able to create his Avenue of Success.
Once his pro career ended, Thomari re-focused his commitment to giving back to the youth of the Central Valley (California) area by starting the Team Avenue Baseball Academy and Avenue Outreach, a non-profit baseball school. On top of tutoring players on the field, Story-Harden assisted in placing youth in college at all levels of play. His philosophy when working with young adults is to stress academics and family before athletics.
