Sportsheets Founder Tom Stewart Retiring After 27 Years

CERRITOS, Calif. — After 27 years, Sportsheets founder and CEO Tom Stewart is retiring and taking his gifts to the non-profit sector.

“Retirement is not unfamiliar to me since I retired as a commander from the Naval Reserves in 2007, but one of the most exciting things about this retirement is that I’m able to leave the company in the capable hands of my sister, Julie Stewart, who’s been my partner for over two decades and the President of Sportsheets since 2012,” Stewart said. “As the sole owner of Sportsheets, Julie will be taking the company into the next decade and beyond.”

According to the company, Tom will remain busy with the non-profit organization Carl Stewart's Drums for Drummers (D4D) that he started five years ago — named for his father — and will focus on sourcing, refurbishing and donating drum sets into underfunded schools. By solely concentrating on D4D, Tom says he is now able to help other creative people thrive.  

“I’ll be concentrating my efforts on D4D,” he said. “You might, however, see me on the road now and then and maybe even at tradeshows; I look forward to seeing our friends and customers again wherever we may cross paths. I am beyond grateful to the industry and the friends I have made along the way that allowed for so many wonderful memories, experiences, and successes. I wish you all the best!”

Julie Stewart adds, “Tom’s innovative vision and inspiration has built our great company, and I’m beyond thankful to carry his mission forward with the phenomenal team we’ve built together. We all look forward to continued success and exciting new paths in this coming decade.”
