Oh hey there! Nice of you to stop by. Can I hang up your coat? Get something to drink? Me? You want to get to know me? Well, I do love talking about myself... My name is Tommy, I'm a recent Grand Valley State University graduate. I'm a 25 year old who managed to stumble my way into a dream position working in the radio industry. Radio has played a massive role in my upbringing and I'm thrilled that I can carve my own path in the industry. It's been nice having you here, but I really gotta run. Feel free to check out some of the things I've written and give me a follow on Instagram @tommy140_! If you do, DM your favorite song or a new book to read :)
