TJ Navarro

TJ is the founder of GPS Travel, co-owner of the historic Woodbine Mansion, and managing partner of Pearl Events Austin. Originally from New Orleans, he graduated from LSU in 2006, where he met Becky before the two relocated to Austin to begin their careers and eventually their family.

TJ’s professional journey began in the home improvement industry, where he served as Regional Vice President for the country’s largest outdoor remodeling company. In 2018, he and Becky purchased and restored the Woodbine Mansion, an experience that introduced him to the event world and gave him hands-on knowledge of venue operations and client service.

Most recently, TJ launched GPS Travel, a boutique agency specializing in highly personalized journeys for clients around the globe. His career across construction, hospitality, and travel has given him a wide-ranging perspective and a reputation for thoughtful leadership, strong operations, and steady growth. Today, he brings that same expertise to consulting, offering practical insight and support to fellow business owners.

Outside of work, TJ is a husband and father of three who loves creating meaningful experiences, whether at home in Austin or while traveling with his family.
