Tom AKA Dad or PaPa
A Southern California native, Tom now calls Newport Beach home. He brings decades of experience in the building industry to his advisory role at Sheri Marie Interiors, offering a practical perspective and depth of construction knowledge to our projects.
Tom began his career as a Union tile setter, working on model homes, commercial buildings, and luxury custom homes throughout Orange County and Los Angeles. He later focused on developing his own projects and managing custom home construction. This hands-on experience gives him an extensive understanding of how a home comes together, from the details you see to everything happening behind the walls.
Today, Tom serves as our eyes and ears on Orange County projects. His experience brings an added layer of knowledge and confidence to the SMI design and construction process.
When Tom isn’t on a job site, he’s usually off on an adventure. A lifelong motorcyclist, Tom has traveled several times to all four corners of the United States on his motorcycle. Along the way, he finds inspiration in natural materials, rugged landscapes, and the character of small roadside towns.
