Thomas Mead

Thomas is a grounding, loving presence to all those who walk in our doors. Thomas is part of the Sunday early crew, arriving most Sundays before 8am and serving the whole day. While his official title is "day lead" for the concierge team, you can find Thomas helping out in a variety of ways all the time.

“I appreciate the accepting nature of the Center for Spiritual Living and thrive on the support and connection of my Sangha and friends. I am grateful for the quality educational opportunities to grow us into our greater selves and empower our lives. I want to see these opportunities for growth and deepened connections continued, grown and available for each of you.”

Professional Skills: I have successful experience in business. I am a Licensed Architect. I currently act as “Director of Architecture” for Irwin Pancake Architects, Seattle, WA. I run the practice in Seattle serving our clients in the Northwest United States, on behalf of the firm’s ownership in Costa Mesa, CA. I moved to Seattle because I wanted to live in the Northwest and Puget Sound specifically. Prior to that I started and ran my own design firm (Mead Design Studio) in Ventura, CA and merged that with a partner in Santa Barbara, CA into M2 Architecture, Inc. Under my leadership as CEO of the M2 Architecture, the practice was successful and grew from 2 to 7 people within three years. Even during that growth and reinvestment time, we spent the third year paying down the start up debt and paying back investors.
