  • Brendan Pratt

    team member

    I am the very first employee with autism hired here! I clean printing screens, take out the garbage, give tours, service our printers and run errands. I do all the local deliveries with a smile! My favorite part about working here are my co-workers.

  • Jonathan Mentser

    team member

    I am kind and funny! I enjoy folding t-shirts and putting them in boxes for customers to pick up. My favorite aspect of TAC is I like feeling productive and it is great to work at a place that knows that I am not neurotypical and accommodates that.

  • Bryan Curtiss

    community outreach

    My favorite part about TAC is they give individuals with autism jobs while at the same time teaching them skills & training to be successful. When not at work, you can find me behind a microphone. I am the producer/host of The DJBC Happy Hour on WCRS-FM.

  • Elise Schneider

    team member

    I make buttons, count shirts, and clean. They like to call me the Queen of Making Buttons because I make them so fast. I am very good at stuffing envelopes too. I have a smile for everyone and I give the best hugs.

    I love coming into work wearing pun t-shirts and flashy cool sneakers. My favorite tasks at work are making buttons, folding/counting shirts and helping out anywhere I can. I am proud to work at TAC because they let me express myself and let me be me!

  • Matt Blair

    I am the jokester at work & I make everyone laugh. Iā€™m good at quality control and folding shirts. My favorite part about working here is they completely understand me. I also love that I am able to be a part of a group that values people with autism.

    I love to switch it up and work on different tasks during my shifts but I do enjoy making buttons the most.

    I've always searched for a job where I felt like I was at home. I found that here at TAC. I love that I get to be creative and spend time with our awesome employees. They inspire, teach and help me grow everyday and I cannot imagine working anywhere else!

    Being a pediatric RN for 12 years, I have always wanted to help people. My oldest son, Colin, is autistic and he is my biggest hero. I have such great passion for the autistic community and I also have a huge obsession with amazing merchandise. I found myself with the perfect opportunity by being a part of TAC and helping our employees thrive!
