Tom Olmstead came to Personal Touch Service Solutions nearly 17 years ago, bringing with him not only decades of masonry experience, but also a deep respect for craftsmanship that was passed down through generations. The son of a mason himself, Tom has spent 47 years mastering his trade and leading large masonry crews on major construction projects throughout Central Illinois.

After years of working on massive commercial builds, Tom was ready for a different rhythm of life — one that allowed more balance, meaning, and connection to the work itself. At Personal Touch, he discovered a passion for historic masonry restoration, where every building carries its own story and every project requires patience, creativity, and care. Tom especially values the opportunity to help preserve pieces of history that will continue serving future generations.

Beyond his work, Tom is a devoted father who raised his son as a single dad, a role he considers one of his greatest accomplishments. He has also found joy over the years in gardening, raising beef cattle, and competing in dart tournaments. Those who know Tom appreciate his steady nature, quiet wisdom, and the pride he takes in doing things the right way.
