Walking for Autism!

This weekend, my wife and I are participating in Walk Now for Autism Speaks to help find a cure for autism. Autism is the second most common developmental disorder in the United States affecting one in every 110 children born today. Despite some promising discoveries, the cause of autism is unknown and a cure does not exist. Research is crucial. Every 15 minutes another child is diagnosed with autism. Not only must we find ways to improve the quality of life for children and adults with autism, but we also must find a cure, and soon.

Please help us make a difference in the fight against autism by raising money for autism research and heightening public awareness.

Taco Timeout!

Just a quick timeout from telecom to brag about some culinary accomplishments for a good cause. VDLc joined forces with our good friends at El Toro Barbecue last weekend to compete in the First Annual AZ Taco Festival & Competition. The all day event benefited Waste Not Arizona and featured live music, lucha libre wrestling, a tequila expo, a kid fun zone, a pepper eating contest and more. Thousands were in attendance.

I’m very proud to say our chicken taco tied for 1st place and we took 7th overall! Considering we competed against some very good restaurants, it’s something to brag about.

Thanks to Sherri and Colin at El Toro Barbecue for including us, to KNCH Law Firm for sponsoring the team, and of course the festival organizers for a great event that benefits a great cause. Can’t wait to do it again next year!

Video Post: TEM Superhero

Well, I thought I'd try something different to lighten things up. This is a typical conversation between a TEM consultant like me and a prospective client. It addresses common questions and misconceptions about what we do. I hope you find it informative and a bit humorous...
