Tom is the CEO and Owner of Holtz Builders, Inc. (HBI). Tom directs
all activities of the company and leads by example in maintaining a
culture of honesty, transparency, and integrity. Tom’s philosophy in
life is simple – treat others with kindness and give generously. Tom
follows these beliefs everyday by giving back to the communities he
works in, both financially and with his time. He has a strong sense
of devotion for the nonprofit sector, and a deep appreciation for what
he has to share with others, and as such is an advocate and supporter
of area nonprofits such as Sleep in Heavenly Peace, local Boys and
Girls Clubs, area Food Pantries, Agrace, and many, many more.
Tom has been in the building business for over 30 years and has
overseen hundreds of projects from waterparks, large multi-family
units, simple and complex remodeling to high end residential, hotels,
restaurants and other large commercial buildings.
Tom grew up on a small dairy farm, established in 1895, in a village
called Rock Springs, Wisconsin. Growing up on a farm gave him values
such as hard work, family bonds, and playing his part to contribute to
a family business. He was allowed to play one sport (football) during
high school, so he could continue the century old tradition of working
on the farm while his father also worked construction and his mother
in nursing. Tom likes spending time with his wife and three adult
children as well as cheering on the Badgers and Packers, and playing
an occasional round of golf.
