[Timessquare100]

Tom gave me my first break in the music biz, I worked at Tommy Boy doing retail marking from 1996 until they down sized in 2002. Tom treated all of his employees the same. It didnt matter if you worked in marketing, A&R, video, mixshow, radio or the mail room, he valued every bodies opinion and gave everybody a shot. Thank you Tom, if i never got that break who knows where i would have ended up. Tommy Boy was the greatest, so many parties, so many days on the road, the best time of my life!
