CEO - Mountain Laurel Chalets

Stewarding Mountain Laurel Chalets’ legacy of 51 years of limited edition service, Tom brings value to people and experiences through trusted leadership and hospitality. Married to Susan for 31 years, they’ve raised five daughters (and have one son-in-law) who also share their vision for the legacy of their family business which Susan’s parents began in 1972.

In addition to his love for the Great Smoky Mountains, Tom serves as an elder in his church, enjoys a great book and meals with friends and family and plenty of good podcasts. Always learning and growing, Tom surrounds himself with others who care about what really matters—people and relationships. Of course he and Susan would prefer to spend as much time as possible with their grandchildren Charlie and Cecilia and amazing daughters and son-in-law.
