Tommy is the youngest of eight children, born in Memphis Tenn. He moved to Dallas in 1977 to major in business at Southern Methodist University. After graduating in 1980 with a B.B.A. degree from the Cox School of Business, he was torn between two professions, banking and restaurants. He is a "people person" and enjoyed several years of managing Steak and Ale restaurants.
