The founders and managing partners of TMG, Ron Lam, Bruce Nussbaum and Michael Auger, comprised the executive management team and the strategic, operational and development nucleus at GameWorks, the acclaimed restaurant and interactive entertainment concept founded by Steven Spielberg, Universal Studios and Sega.
TMG was built around two simple, yet focused, ideas:

TMG's senior management team includes Tony Penn, Chief Operating Officer, who has held senior executive positions with Buca Di Beppo and Outback Steakhouse, Jill Mather, Partner, a renowned management and training expert, and Mike Long, an industry veternan who has vast experience in executive management and owning his own venues.

Known for creating some of the restaurant industry's most dynamic concepts and brands, this team is also recognized for delivering superior operational performance and execution, and for structuring "win-win" deals with developers and other partners. TMG works closely with partners to develop unique concepts in formats 5,000 to 100,000 square feet, providing a compelling anchor to multi-faceted projects or free-standing destinations.
TMG has quickly become recognized for excellence with its custom concepts in both the entertainment and restaurant industries, including the acclaimed The Corner Alley and 4th Street Bar & Grill, a unique complex featuring 15 lanes of rock 'n bowling, two sleek martini bars and a stylish restaurant serving Americana cuisine, Zocalo Mexican Grill and Tequileria, a winning combination of cuisine from different regions of Mexico and the largest selection of tequilas available in town all within a colorful Mexican resort environment, Montgomery Grill, a full-service restaurant featuring classic Southern dishes and other comfort foods, and the Mineshaft and Rockhouse Grill & Tavern, a family entertainment center featuring 18-high tech bowling lanes, a video arcade, a casual full-service American restaurant, 18-hole putting course and a hair-raising outdoor go-kart race track. In addition, in 2005, TMG acquired management control and reinvented Flannery's Pub, a neighborhood Irish pub and restaurant that is now a cherished downtown Cleveland landmark, resulting in a tripling of revenues. TMG currently manages venues located in Ohio, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan and Virginia.
