Tom worked for Burroughs Corporation out of college and this is where he was introduced to Timberline Software. In 1982, Tom founded Tundra Data, a Timberline Solution Provider in Lakewood, Colorado. Tom led his company's marketing, sales and support efforts of accounting and estimating systems for construction and property management firms. Since its inception, Tundra Data, an Authorized Solution Provider for Timberline, has consistently been recognized as one of Timberline's top solution providers and has won numerous awards for sales and support.
Prior to Tundra Data, Tom's first experiences in the construction industry was being brought up in a family where his father, a homebuilder, gave him first-hand understanding of the needs of residential homebuilders. Drawing from this background and his expertise in information management for residential contractors, Tom, along with his partners, created the "ProHome" concept, a production homebuilder management solution that integrates with Timberline's estimating and accounting software. Due to the success of the ProHome system, Tom formed Builder MT (Builder Management Technology) for the further development and distribution of the ProHome system. Builder MT is also involved in consulting with builders on "Best Practices" in the homebuilding business. In the role of President, Tom directs the marketing, sales and overall management of BuilderMT. ProHome was changed to "Timberline Production Management" as part of Sage Timberline Office for Residential. Production Management currently has over 650 production homebuilders in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and The United States as clients as of January 2007.
Tom Gebes has published several industry articles providing tips for homebuilders to improve their business practices by effectively defining their needs and taking advantage of technology. Tom has also spoke at the National, State and Local homebuilder associations on process improvement and the use of technology within the homebuilding industry. In 2006, Tom Gebes was awarded #40 out of Builder Magazine's Top 50 Most Influential in Home Building Nationally as well as a Finalist in Ernst and Young's Entrepreneur of the Year in the Rocky Mountain Region.
Tom also manages all strategic partnership relationships, business development and sales and marketing.
