Before joining the team at Miller Architecture & Design Studio, Thomas worked in the architectural specialty of house design for 20 years. Over his career he worked as a member of a team of highly skilled and talented architects and had the privilege of helping many families realize their dreams of designing and building some of the finest homes in East Tennessee. Along the way he gained considerable experience across the spectrum of the architectural process of designing and preparing construction drawings for homes of the highest quality. Thomas has a passion for the challenge of taking the broad strokes of house design and refining the design into the final product of a working set of house drawings that provide the builder with clear direction and documentation for the permitting, bidding, and construction of the homes we design.

Thomas is a graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Architecture and Design with a Bachelor of Architecture.

Thomas’s unique experience with designing homes began as a young boy growing up in a home with a father who was an architect. When he discovered his own love for design in high school, he decided to begin his personal journey in architecture by obtaining a professional degree.

Thomas's career is deeply rooted in residential architecture and construction across a variety of styles. His work in residential construction management and estimating brings a unique practicality to his design process when crafting technical details and construction documents. Additionally, his experience studying classical architecture in Rome, Italy inspires him to hand draw beautifully proportioned home plans and renderings.

Thomas is a detailed-oriented designer who takes as much care in the quality of his hand drawn lines at the beginning of the design process as he does in analyzing energy efficiency while creating construction drawings at the end of the design process. For Thomas, the joy of architecture is found in the relationship with the clients, builders, and team members as well as in the beauty he finds in architectural details, both aesthetic and technical.

In his free time, he enjoys pulling for the Tennessee Volunteers, golfing, skiing, working out, and jui-jitsu at a local gym.

Thomas holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee College of Architecture and Design.
