Tom Davis Jr.

About The Author
Tom Davis, Jr. obtained his A.A. while playing football at Tennessee Military Institute, and later earned his G.G. degree as a graduate gemologist. Having apprenticed as a jeweler, he worked in the jewelry department at Rich’s in Atlanta, doing so well that he was promoted, finally becoming the vice president of distribution and transportation. Then, at the age of thirty-two, looking to escape corporate politics, Tom began buying and selling used construction equipment.
Not long thereafter, he formed his own company, AT-PAC. During a trip to Greenville, South Carolina, at Flours Daniels Equipment yard, the president of AMECO offered Tom to purchase forty container loads of scaffolding, located in Edmonton, Alberta. He did. Succeeding in this deal, he was awarded another contract for a $1.7 billion project, establishing his business, which continues to operate profitably, even though he is semi-retired.
Tom and his wife, Michelle, both philanthropists, live in Boca Raton, Florida. An avid sportsman and big-game hunter, Tom has five children and seven grandchildren, two girls and five boys.
