In 1980, Tommy and Linda moved their family to Amarillo, where he began his career in the restaurant industry.

Tommy loved spending time with his family and friends, traveling, working in the yard and watching his grandkids play sports. He also enjoyed watching wrestling and football. He was a huge fan of the Washington Redskins.
