About

First I’d like to say thank you so much for visiting my page, and taking a look at my work.  A lot of work has gone into creating this site, and I am excited about some additional changes that will be coming soon.  So check back often for fresh new content.

Hello.  My name is Thomas Wernz.  I have lived a very interesting and adventurous life.  I appreciate you coming to my about page to learn a little more about me, and how I got to where I am today.

I was born and raised in Germany.  I came to the United States at the age of 14 after my father died to live with my mother and her new husband.   Shortly after I turned 18 I joined the military and was stationed in Greece.  I guess you could say I truly began my profession while I was in Greece 30 years ago.  I picked up odd jobs, mostly helping others and began to learn the ins and outs of construction, restoration and design.  I have always appreciated the beauty of art and was surprised at the level in which art penetrates construction.

After I got out of the military I decided to head back to my motherland, Germany.  I was able to get on a stucco crew with the little experience I gained in Greece.  It was in Germany that my career really took off in the construction industry.  I was a General Contractor with a GmbH (German equivalent to Inc.).  I was one of the many contractors that helped rebuild East Germany after the Berlin Wall fell.  I had a large workforce and employed many people working on projects ranging from large new developments to restoration of buildings hundreds of years old.

10 years ago I moved to Florida.  Most of the pictures you see on this website are from jobs that I have done while here in Florida.  ALL of the pictures you see on this website are jobs that I personally have done or samples that I have created.

Thanks again for coming to hear a little bit of my story.  Please check out my FAQ page or feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    We are doing a small project in my office, Beverly Hills Eye Clinic – we are located 25 minutes outside Ocala, in Citrus county. I am looking for 3 faux columns – that will go from a counter height up to the ceiling, approx. 7 ft.
