Tom McCloskey has a varied and fascinating career background. His background uniquely prepared him for the kitchen design and build business he founded in 1987 under the name Sawhorse Designs.

After gaining a BA from Franklin and Marshall College and an MBA at The American University, Tom spent 18 years in sales and consulting for well respected financial firms.

With this background, Tom yearned to be an entrepreneur, work directly with clients and get involved in particular in the home transformation and renovation process.

Sawhorse Designs, located in downtown Millburn, New Jersey, has grown in business size and reputation during the 20 years under his direction.

Tom has never forgotten his marketing and business education and experience. One interesting example: Tom asks his staff, including even the high quality installers, to read part or all of books like the new J.D. Power and Associates book "Satisfaction - How every great company listens to the voice of the customer."

Tom and his wife live locally and have children 15 and 18. His favorite pastime is gardening and the whole family loves the Jersey Shore.   Back to top
