“Passion+practice+patience+perseverance+networking+attitude. (P4+N+A). That’s my equation for success. You need serious passion to want to practice and get really good at something. You need patience because nothing usually ever happens exactly when you want it to...so you need to persevere to continue arriving at your desired destinations. Anyone who knows Tommy can say he possesses these qualities. It’s why he’s getting where he wants to go. I’m enjoying watching it all happen for him.” — Greg Richling, Record producer, technology executive, and former 20 year member of The Wallflowers
