Thomas (Tom) John Kerkaert, CPA, is a seasoned financial executive with over 20 years of senior finance and accounting leadership experience across public and private equity-backed organizations spanning manufacturing, construction, and service industries. He currently serves as Chief Financial Officer and Director of East West Ave Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: EWAVU), a Las Vegas-based special purpose acquisition company targeting businesses in the financial technology, digital assets, and energy solutions sectors. The SPAC, founded in 2025 and led by CEO Molly Huang, raised $100 million in its IPO on July 31, 2026, offering 10 million units at $10.00 each, with D. Boral Capital acting as sole bookrunner. Kerkaert also currently serves as CFO of Double B Foods, underscoring his active multi-role professional portfolio.
Kerkaert's prior public company experience includes serving as Chief Financial Officer of Legacy Housing Corporation (Nasdaq: LEGH), a role he assumed in August 2020 per a Schedule 14A filing, where he was noted for a career spanning more than fifteen years at that point. He has also held the CFO position at Riverbend Sandler Pools, a private company based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Earlier in his career, he joined a company in September 2010 and rose to serve as Chief Accounting Officer, accumulating approximately 1.6 years in that role with a reported 44.6% total shareholder return during his tenure. His broad finance and accounting background has positioned him as a Nasdaq and private equity veteran, and he has been featured on the podcast "Beyond the Ledger," where he discussed lessons on becoming a CFO at age 38.
At East West Ave Acquisition Corp., Kerkaert plays a central governance and financial oversight role. He serves on the board alongside directors Samir Parikh, Irfan Verjee, and Masahiro Honna. On August 3, 2026, shortly after the SPAC's IPO, Kerkaert acquired 40,000 common shares through a transfer from East West Avenue LLC pursuant to a securities transfer agreement, giving him direct ownership of 40,000 shares. The company is registered at 5725 S Valley View Blvd, Ste 5 #378094, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118. While specific educational institution details are not disclosed in available sources, Kerkaert holds the CPA designation and is recognized as an accomplished CFO with deep expertise in financial leadership for both publicly traded and PE-backed enterprises.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001897702 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
