When Sarasota native T.J. Nutter launched his custom home company, he built upon an established foundation of excellence. His father and grandfather preceded him in the construction industry, though T.J. acknowledges that his early aspirations didn’t include following in their footsteps. “I pursued an interest in finance,” he explains. But after playing football at Tennessee Tech and graduating from the University of South Florida, T.J. quickly discovered that he wasn’t suited for the traditional corporate environment. While interning at a financial firm, he recalls, “I’d always eat my lunch at a construction site so that I could watch the progress of the project.” It didn’t take him long to realize where his true passions lie; T.J. left the financial sector and became a superintendent for a national builder.
