    Thomas Hayne Upchurch, FAIA

    Tommy has lived and practiced in Brenham since making a professional leap of faith by moving there from Austin in 1998. For Tommy, it was a place to raise children that reminded him of the small town in which he was raised, one that stood independent of a large city, and where the countryside was a short distance from downtown.

    Since establishing his practice in Brenham, Tommy has been a catalyst for lasting and sustainable change in the community through his thoughtful and visionary leadership.
