Hawthorn Builders is proud to introduce our newest team-member Gary, Gary Domermuth.  Gary has been with the company for the past few months and has kindly provided a bio to let our readers know a little bit more about him.

As Operations Manager, Gary is responsible for overseeing our accounting and finance functions.  Additionally, he provides site supervision assistance out in the field for our custom home builds and renovations.

Gary holds bachelor’s degree in finance and a master’s degree in accounting from Siena College and joins the team with five years of experience in the field of accounting.  Prior to joining Hawthorn he worked as an auditor and later as an accounting consultant.  Additionally, Gary has ten years of experience doing exterior home remodeling and renovations.  During this time he gained exposure to various skill sets including: framing, roofing installation, siding installation, window installation, and electrical work.  He and his wife currently live in Natick where they are doing a full renovation of their home.
