Career
While in university, Tenner decided to apply for a job at several leading stock brokerage firms in downtown Los Angeles to begin getting some professional experience.

EAT'M is where bands which include Papa Roach, Slipknot,[1] and Leann Rimes were first exposed to the industry.[4] By the third conference, more than 2,000 people registered and 180 bands participated.[4] Michelle Branch, who signed to Maverick Records shortly after her appearance at EAT'M 2000 credited the conference with helping to jump start her career.[6]
