Inside the Business of Broadneck High's DJ
Tommy Gatzionis has expanded his business from a venture he set out on fresh from high school.
Tommy Gatzionis, a 2009 graduate of Broadneck High School, is in the midst of a successful DJ career that began fresh out of high school, he recently told The Capital.
In a business profile in The Capital, Gatzionis, 21, the owner of Tommy Gatz Entertainment, said he has expanded his business to 30 employees.
He said he got his start as a DJ after noticing that the people high schools normally hired for their dances didn't seem to care about the students. He set out to create a company that changed that relationship.
