Describe tms culture to a potential employee.
We are a “people first” oriented environment. I’ve never worked in a space as authentic and organic as tms.
During your time at tms, what project are you most proud of?
I’m most proud of my contribution to the DE&I initiatives. I’ve been responsible directly or indirectly for multiple diverse hires. I’m also responsible for the most recent hire of the DE&I lead for tms — very proud of that hire.
What’s the best career advice you’ve collected?
Be your authentic self, period. The closer you are to being 100% of yourself, the better for you and the organization.
If money was no object, what would you do as a career?
I would be a music concert promoter, although that would hopefully mean I would make a lot of money. 🙂 I LOVE music and bringing that passion to other people would be my dream career.
What is your life like outside of work?
I am happily married to my wife Nikki Joseph — 28 years and counting. I love watching sports (basketball and football in particular) and working out. But, to me, nothing better than drinking a good glass of whiskey. Straight, no ice.
What is your true passion?
Helping young people find and chase their passions in the world. Outside of work, I do a lot with building environments for inner city youth, providing programs and spaces where they can grow and learn in a safe environment.
What person (dead or alive) would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with?
No question it would be former president Barack Obama. I would love to know what he’s REALLY like in a tell-all conversation with nothing off limits.
What are your top five all-time favorite bands, musical groups, or artists that you will always love?
Sting, New Edition, 2Pac, Kendrick Lamar, and most 80s, 90s R&B but not in that order
What are you currently binge-watching?
Atlanta on Hulu, and Ted Lasso on AppleTV
What was your favorite word of 2022?
Vicissitudes — it’s when you’re referring to the difficult times we go through. In today’s world, you have to be able to ride and survive the vicissitudes of life to win.
