In 1977, Bobby Gregory founded TDS with one customer, one truck and plenty of determination. With a deep commitment to customer satisfaction and environmental responsibility, Bobby began to turn his independently-owned business into an award-winning and household name. Four decades later, and still under the direction of Bobby Gregory, TDS is now one of the largest independently-owned resource management companies in the country. With more than 1200 employees, TDS has offices in Austin, San Antonio, Georgetown, San Angelo, Alpine, Weimar and Sealy. TDS also operates the TDS Landfill, the Materials Recovery Facility, five transfer stations and several large-scale composting operations. Additionally, TDS owns several other business entities, including Texas Landfill Management, TDS Land Management, TDS Metals, Texas Organic Products and Garden-Ville.

To solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic, roads must go 3D, which means either flying cars or tunnels. Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight and won't fall on your head. A large network of tunnels many levels deep would fix congestion in any city, no matter how large it grew (just keep adding levels). The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more – this is the goal of The Boring Company. Fast to dig, low cost tunnels would also make Hyperloop adoption viable and enable rapid transit across densely populated regions, enabling travel from New York to Washington DC in less than 30 minutes.

Overall strategic and operational responsibility for Young Voices of Austin's staff, programs, expansion and execution of its mission. The mission of Young Voices of Austin (YVA) is to provide high-quality music education to a racially and socioeconomically diverse population of children ages 7 to 18. Musical instruction includes rigorous sight-singing and ear-training, general musical literacy, vocal technique, and stage presence and movement. Choristers learn to analyze scores from many styles and traditions, and to sing texts in many different languages from around the world. YVA’s curriculum is consistent with national standards, at tiered levels designed to reinforce lessons and increase challenge and achievement as choristers progress. The choral literacy and performance curriculum of YVA is led by highly skilled and trained conductors. The mission of YVA is enhanced by a commitment to academic achievement, including assistance with identifying and applying to colleges, tutoring, guidance on auditions and essay-writing, and SAT/ACT preparation. Young Voices of Austin is committed not only to creating stronger musicians but stronger people, empowering the voices of Austin’s youngest citizens so that they may become its future leaders. To that end, YVA works to instill a drive not only for musical excellence, but also academic and personal excellence, in all of its choristers.
