HI, MY NAME IS TJ - BUT YOU CAN CALL ME TEEJ.
I am an Art Director from Texas, currently working at GSD&M in Austin. I've always said I'm not that smart, I'm just full of fun facts:
One time I ate at a restaurant at the same time as Regis Philbin.
My favorite song is Jolene by Dolly Parton although I believe Africa by Toto is the best song to ever exist.
In 2000, my brother turned down 2 free tickets to see the Backstreet Boys 'Into the Millennium' tour in Dallas and I'm still mad about it.
If you want to talk, just reach out.
