Who is TJ?

My name is TJ Jorgensen, born in Berrien Springs, Michigan, and currently residing in South Bend, Indiana.

I began his professional marketing career at the age of 18, as an intern at Burch, Inc. in Benton Harbor, Michigan working with clients like JB Hunt. By the age of 21, I took another jump, learning the sign and graphic industry in St. Joseph, Michigan before starting my own small sign business in my home town. My dedication to clients back then meant staying up all night for a $50 project. I was labeled the guy that would go to any extent to serve his client. Fast forward over 25 years and the passion and drive is even stronger.

In 2012, I founded TJ21 Media Group, is a media marketing agency located in downtown South Bend. Our prime area of focus is video production – including live multi-camera broadcasting – web development, social media marketing and marketing representation, however with our strong team of passionate staff members we are here to serve all of your marketing needs.

I have owned or managed a handful of companies over the last 25+ years but alongside being an entrepreneur, I am also a philanthropist, an officiant and a public speaker. I sit on several boards in our community, including being president of the board for Life Treatment Center, VP of the board for Big Brothers Big Sisters and founder of Street Kids Care. Working in my community has become a passion and its something I never want to stop doing.

As a public speaker, I have spoken in front of several companies, groups and organizations with my now popular mantra “infectious energy”, where I make it a goal to help motivate people to become passionate and excited for what they do in their lives.

I became ordained not just to help marry couples but because I felt it is what God called me to do. Do I want to lead a church? No. Do I want to preach? No. But when it comes to weddings, funerals and other christian-based events, I feel that God has asked me to step in to help lead in those life-changing moments.

I am married to the love of my life, Courtney Jorgensen, and have seven amazing kids: Johnathon, 28; Joshua, 24; Joey, 23; Myah, 18; Isabella, 12; Alivia, 11 and Elliana, 5. I also have one of the best treasures in my life, my adorable grandson, Jackson, 1.
