Stenzel Development

Born in Williamsburg, Virginia, Tom Stenzel graduated with a degree in Computer Science/Electronics. Tom then spent seven years in the High Tech/Semi Conductor Industry as an engineer. This involved in depth knowledge of chemistry, RF, robotics and electronics.

Tom’s engineering knowledge led him into a progression into the building industry. Working in land development and home building, he could utilize his knowledge of electrical, mechanical and communication skills.

After becoming a Virginia Class A Contractor, Tom founded Stenzel Development in 2004. Tom successfully completed numerous projects in northern Virginia, working with a local developer. Tom continued to build within the Richmond area until 2008 when Tom moved to North Carolina and acquired his North and South Carolina General Contractor’s Licenses.

A key component of the expansion of Stenzel Development was the addition of Jim Becker. With over 30 years of experience and a BS degree, Jim has an understanding of general construction and construction management. His ownership of several successful companies throughout the Midwest has proved him an invaluable resource in company operations, quality assurance, and in developing processes that are conducive to complete customer satisfaction and repeat clientele.

Upon relocating to the Southeast, Jim has maintained steadfast commitment to his local community. He currently serves on the Board of Directors at the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce, is the former Board President of Tri-County Contractors and past executive Board of Lake County Contractors. His support of community organizations embodies the values of Stenzel Development. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and avid hiking (recently reaching the pinnacle of Denali).
