READ MORE ABOUT:
Most widely recognized for his 14-year stint on television's most popular home improvement series, This Old House, "ultimate home enthusiast" Steve Thomas has expanded his expertise in the home renovation area to incorporate green practices.
A former spokesperson for the Environmental Protection Agency's program Home Performance with Energy Star, Steve consults on residential building and renovation across the United States and has encouraged sustainable building and energy conservation technologies in new and old houses for more than 20 years.
Steve helped catapult This Old House to the top of PBS's list of most-watched ongoing series of all time. Steve was honored with a 1997-98 Daytime Emmy Award and a total of nine nominations for "Outstanding Service Show Host."
Steve's enthusiasm for fixing up old houses was influenced by his father, whom he described as a "true weekend warriorfearless and always ready to take on any project." Steve's first project on his own was to renovate a run down 1920s residence in Olympia, Washington. He then continued working in the field in the Pacific Northwest until moving to Massachusetts in 1980, where he resides with his wife and son in a self-renovated, eco-friendly 1836 colonial revival in a seaport town north of Boston.
