"TJ was highly recommended to me by a trusted colleague, and after working with him for several months I can understand why. Not only is TJ knowledgeable in the Entertainment Industry and Cruise Industry, a must for our company, he also possesses true creative passion and great administrative and production skills. TJ is a dedicated hard worker, is dependable, works well as part of a team or on his own, and best of all, he has no fear. He took on many new projects to help us navigate the craziness during the Covid-19 Pandemic. And through it all he was a pleasure to work with.
