About Tom
Tom Lindsley was the kid in high school who did every odd job in the neighborhood. His first job after high school was to fix up multi -family houses in East Boston on East Morris St. Soon after, he started a painting and carpentry company-Tom Sawyer Painting and Carpentry, and remodeled homes to pay his way through college. Though he received his BA. in Economics- his passion remained building and he soon got his Construction Supervisors License in 1989, and built his first house in Lexington, MA.

Energy Efficient
Tom is obsessed with energy efficient homes and passive solar homes - all things zero- energy and sustainable /regenerative. Tiny houses are a passion, and he is currently finishing one of his own ! He is driven to work with the most environmentally responsible materials and methods, and is constantly researching. The latest inspiring innovation he is incorporating is ICF (Insulated Concrete Form)- which enables a home to be constructed with carbon neutral concrete!

Tom builds net zero passive solar greenhouses! As the founder of the non- profit Eat toThrive , and Real Kids/ Real Food, and a longtime instructor about healing foods , it was a natural step to look to apply his building skills toward designing the optimal greenhouses for beautiful home grown food year round!
He is a big fan of Geo-Thermal heating, and this method combined with a partially underground building allows for a net zero greenhouse in a New England Climate! Call us to talk about building your greenhouse dreams!
