Meet the Business Owner

Tommy D.

Business Owner

I was born in New Orleans (yes I am a rabid and faithful Saints fan), and lived there until the sixth grade. My family and I moved to Tampa, Florida, and then to Dallas, Texas when I was 14. People often ask if I was a military brat and the answer is no. My parents were musicians and they went where the gigs were. I credit this unusual upbringing with my intense desire to experience new places, cultures, and fearlessness in the face of change. To further illustrate this, after college, I moved to Washington State, then to Indiana, on to the Central African Republic, and finally back to Dallas. Now here I am in Birmingham, Alabama.
