Prior to joining Higgs, Thorne graduated from the University of California Irvine, where he completed the honors program in sociology, and played Division I baseball for its nationally ranked program. He received his law degree from the University of California Berkeley, School of Law. During law school, Thorne served as a staff editor for the Berkeley Business Law Journal and the Dodd-Frank Symposium. He also interned at the East Bay Community Law Center, Clean Slate Division, and was a judicial extern to the Honorable Jeffrey B. Barton at the San Diego Superior Court.
