Our Team

Tom McCormick
President / Owner

Tom began his construction career in 1972 as a laborer for a bridge construction company while in college. With a degree in accounting from Indiana University, Bloomington and an Indiana CPA license, Tom worked in public accounting while building his own first home.

The son of a civil engineer at American Bridge, Tom grew up wherever his father's projects took the family: Gary, IN, New York City, Springfield, IL, giving him an early critical eye on the world of building.

After an 18−year career as a banker, in 1999, Tom began Duneland Fine Homes. His first projects were building spec homes in Valparaiso, Indiana and rental properties for his own portfolio. Fortunately, he was provided several opportunities to build premier custom homes in the Indiana and Michigan beach areas and moved his focus entirely to the Dunes and Harbor Country areas.

Tom and his wife, Katherine, reside in Long Beach. He enjoys snowboarding, golf and his philanthropic work as Treasurer of the Barker Welfare Foundation and a board member of the local homeless shelter, Citizens Concerned for the Homeless.
