“I am eternally grateful for the love of my home, the United States Virgin Islands, St. Croix, for giving me the fuel that drives the TEMPO movement. I want to give back and celebrate the community that raised me and sparked the TEMPO! St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas and Water Island get ready: TEMPO TURNS TWO! Love you like cook food!,” said, Mr. Tempo, Frederick Morton, Jr., Founder, Senior Vice President & General Manager.
