   I am a clothier assisting clients in acquiring the custom clothing they need in order to be prepared for any occasion. I help my clients find a way to reflect their personalities in their professional wear, and take the extra steps to ensure clients are happy about the results. I travel to my clients fitting them for custom suits and shirts and a range of other clothes from casual and business wear, to formal wear.Working with Tom James the past 23 years has given me the opportunity to provide custom clothing for a vast array of people, and allowed to me to work my way to the Top 25% in sales. My goal is to have TJ of Roanoke one of the Top 15 Tom James offices in the world. Tom James Company will be a $500 million organization within five years, sustaining its position as the largest custom manufacturer and retailer of custom clothing.
