About Thomas

Thomas Smith is an accomplished businessman with over 25 years of experience working in international business, construction and developing industries. He was born and raised in Chicago, with a unique upbringing shaped by his parents' contrasting perspectives, which he greatly respects. While his father was an entrepreneur who owned a commercial development company and was involved in homebuilding, his mother was pro-union and politically active. Smith grew up with a focus on trades, construction, and development. After college and a tour in the Air Force, SMith worked for an Italian tile manufacturer supporting national developers. He later circled back to international business for his career. He spent 25 years working internationally, eventually becoming the president of the North American Division. He then bought American Import Tile (AIT), a Chicago-based company, focusing on domestically manufactured flooring products. During the Covid pandemic, Smith launched The Tool Locker, an e-commerce-based construction tool company focused on the pro tradespeople. He recognizes the challenges that the industry is facing with increased costs and delivery schedules. “Scheduling and delivery times affect all phases of construction and everyone's timelines”.
