After finishing Realschule he took on an apprenticeship as a barber. Because he frequently worked as a caretaker (German: Hausmeister), he gave himself the stage name "Hausmeister Thomas D."
He has been living vegan for several years and supports the animal rights organization PETA. In 2003, he was criticized for his radical approval of their exhibition Holocaust on Your Plate, which compared keeping animals in mass stocks to the crimes of holocaust.
Thomas D. is married and has one daughter.

Thomas D. is a member of Die Fantastischen Vier, but was also successful with his solo albums Solo (1997) and Lektionen in Demut (2001).
