Ellena and Tony Sr.

How we got our start

Ellena is the catalyst behind the creation of Tie’s Cleaning Machine. As a Head Teacher at The Goddard School she was responsible for lessons plans, safety coordinator, scheduling school outings, hold conferences, a create reports for the student body and overseeing the building cleanliness. The last piece hit close to home because even after her own children aged out of pre school she felt it was her duty to give all the children an experience as if her own still attended. This meant exceptional cleaning standards beyond what the industry would deem acceptable. So she took her idea home to her husband Tony Sr.

At the time Tony Sr. was successfully operating as a general manager for Cheesecake Factory and was expertly applying his 20 years of labor management, quality control, guest relations and sales. Family has always been his driving force and all his decisions have been rooted in support of those in his circle. Without question he fully backed his wife in what would later be called Tie’s Cleaning Machine. He took her knowledge and idea and mixed it with his corporate know how and understanding and in 2004 TCM was born.

Together they built a company guided by principles deeply rooted in family.
