"Working with Tom on his radio show was a blast. I thought his questions were pointed and really great. His enthusiasm was obvious. He had a sincere, 'I am glad you guys are here' attitude towards us being in the studio with him. Tom is the utmost professional!!! And Tom really did his homework with our photography shoot!!! He attended a few rehearsals prior to the live shoot and was so well prepared the day of the show. His attention to detail and overall professionalism is evident as you work with him. My hats are off to him........Tom is the best!!!!"
