About Tom

Tom grew up working in the family construction business in Chester County, Pennsylvania and after some college he returned to take over the business. He expanded the home renovation company into a firm that oversaw the construction of new housing developments. As the economy changed in the late 80’s he transitioned the business toward growth opportunities within the commercial markets of Southeast PA, New Jersey & Delaware. He relocated to Philadelphia and focused on commercial tenant-fit out until selling his company & relocating to Maryland. In Maryland, Tom continued to work as a construction manager consultant and raced sailboats professionally. He started a full-service marine business in Annapolis MD and with his expertise in coordination and management was able to expand that to include setting up mobile marinas for large scale regattas on the east coast from Key West to Newport RI. When the recession hit in 2008 decimating the pleasure craft marine industry, Tom re-focused his attention to construction management. He took the business contacts he developed from the marine business & started another commercial construction company focused on tenant fit-outs, building & facility management which was rolled into the formation of Stout Real Estate & Development. Tom is a proven entrepreneur which has led him to be an industry leader as a self-employed construction manager or marine professional throughout his career. He excels in devising short and long-term plans to achieve clients objectives to create and maintain functional work spaces. His business network includes an array of subcontractors and service providers to meet specific needs of each client.
