Before his presidency, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Jefferson was a fairly successful lawyer in the Virginia area.

He was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress. He was the second Governor of Virginia after independence. He served as US Ambassador to France (1785-89). He was the first US Secretary of State (1790-1793). He served as the second Vice-President of the United States (1797-1801).

Then he became the third President of the United States.
