For over 15 years, Tom has worked to assist customers in achieving their dream kitchens and baths. 

Tom has a BA degree in economics and accounting from Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA. 

In his spare time Tom loves to spend time with his family.  He also loves anything related to sports and the outdoors. Aside from design, his first love is the game of golf; he played in high school and college and has coached a number of high school golf teams.

Tom very much enjoys our customers and helping them design a space to be more visually pleasing and functional.

April Peterson, Marketing Coordinator, oversees and has a very active role in the execution of all advertising for the Cascadia region. April has been with the company since 2016.

After returning from studying abroad in London, April took a break from school and began working in the distribution center for an action sports retailer based out of the greater Seattle area. Seeing what goes on behind the scenes of a retail business, combined with her background in graphic design, inspired April to choose Marketing as a major. She obtained her B.A. in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Western Washington University.

She spends her time outside of work keeping up with her three kids and still loves to travel when she gets the chance. Interior design has been a passion of April’s since she was a toddler. She is thrilled to have a position that combines so many of the things she loves.

 Deb and Bob Varner are the owners of Granite Transformations in the Cascadia region. They both spent years working for large corporations, Deb in Finance and Operations and Bob in Market Research. In 2003 they transitioned into ownership of Granite Transformations, and they love what they do. They have been working to expand the operation every few years.

Deb and Bob chose Granite Transformations because of the outstanding product, revolutionary process, and the ability to have a positive impact on people’s homes and lives in just a few days. Their favorite part of the job is getting to work with customers. As owners, they are very active in the operations of their company. Deb can often be found running design consultation appointments, returning phone calls, and meeting with customers in the office. Bob is always out templating people’s homes and running return appointments to ensure that every customer is thrilled with their final result.

When not at work, Deb and Bob enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren. They have adventurous spirits and can often be found sailing and hiking in the PNW and around the world.

The happiness of their customers and employees is their number one priority. They worked hard to build a business to be proud of. Deb and Bob believe in going above and beyond to meet the needs of their customers and work tirelessly to meet that standard every day. 

Gloria Major handles the bookkeeping transactions for the Cascadia Granite Transformation franchises. She has been with the organization since 2016 and has more than 35 years of bookkeeping experience, working with many law firms and other small companies. She also owns her own contract bookkeeping company. 

Gloria attended the University of Washington and Central Washington University, studying Business Management with an emphasis on Accounting.

When not working, she plays pickleball a couple nights per week and has also competed in Powerlifting and Strongman competitions. Other than that, she likes to do all sorts of crafting, and play stupid games on her phone while watching reality TV. Since her three grown children are all out of the house, she and her husband, Tom, host international exchange students so the house doesn’t get too quiet.
