Tom Hawkes was first introduced to the world of masonry through his neighbor in 1975. After High School in 1985 Tom went to work for Lund Masonry in Seattle. One of the first stone projects he was assigned too was the lobby of the Nordstrom Medical Tower in Seattle, flamed and polished red Brazilian granite. Off and on when Tom when was in Seattle he worked for three generations of Lund’s at Lund Masonry from 1985 to 2005. In the late 80’s to the early 90’s when Tom was in other parts of the USA he had the privilege to work on other notable stone projects such as the: Canadian Embassy; Hyman Construction, Washington DC 1987 – Manchester Grand Hyatt; Intrepid Stone Contractor Inc., San Diego, CA 1991 – Payne Hall at Virginia Tech; Step Stone Inc., Blacksburg, VA 1991–1992.
He also had the opportunity to help build a civil war stone monument to an unmarked battlefield in a farmer’s field and help restore the stone foundation of a historical plantation mill in Virginia. After many years in the masonry trade, Tom progressed from Hod Carrier, Stone Masons Helper, Mason Apprentice, to Journeyman Mason, to Foreman. In 2001 Tom took on the roll as Project Manager for some of Lund’s major stone projects in the Northwest.
