Thomas P. Lee has worked in the commercial cleaning industry for over a decade, beginning his successful career in New York. Within five months of joining a commercial cleaning service there, at 21 years of age, he was asked to take over the Boston office, where he deftly increased sales. Recognizing the potential market for a national service, he chose to position Optima Services in the mid-Atlantic region for future growth. Thomas founded Optima Services, Inc. in October 1993.
