About Us
Our team
President and founder, Thomas Phelps,16, has lived in Palm Valley since he was 6 years old. His love of the area comes in large part from his grandparents’ early ties to the Valley. Dr. Thomas and Korlis Merlo moved to Roscoe Boulevard in 1976, loving and nurturing their piece of paradise long before it was discovered by others.
Thomas’ mother, Vice President, Tiffany Merlo Phelps, grew up in the Valley, and the family calls Roscoe Boulevard home. Thomas' sister Eva Phelps,17, is the Artistic Director for Palm Valley Trading Co. Thomas came up with the idea for Palm Valley Trading Co. as a way to express his pride in the beauty and history of Palm Valley.
Thomas is a junior at Ponte Vedra High School, enrolled in the IT Academy. In addition to fully embracing all things Palm Valley, Thomas enjoys spending time with his grandparents, playing video games, fishing, learning about history, geography, playing the guitar and volunteering at Bit of Faith ranch.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring representation to the people of Palm Valley and preserve the natural and historical elements for future generations to come.
