About Tom

In 1967 Tom’s family moved to Vermont from New York. Tom started hands on building with his Dad and brother at the age of 15. He began building what would eventually be his family’s home.

 

Tom attended Johnson State College and in 1973 he married his sweetheart Deb who was an RN student at the time. He became partner with his Dad, Ed, and brother John in ET Moore and Sons – the family building business. In 1978 his son Justin was born and it was around this time Tom also took over the family business enlarging the company into a building/remodeling and furniture/cabinetry business. Tom and Deb’s second son Lincoln was born in 1981.

 

As they grew up both sons worked part time in the business and they now both work full time in the company. Deb went on to become a Nurse Practitioner and has recently retired. Tom enjoys having his family close by and mountain biking, skiing, and hiking with the family dogs.
