“After years as a franchisee of pizza and sandwich restaurants, Tom became keenly aware of how quickly those with special needs were overlooked as productive employees after hiring a young man with Down syndrome for his restaurant.
With these inspirations, Tom created a space where teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities could find meaningful employment. Tom went about creating a place for underdogs. A place where they could be the center of the business. A money-making enterprise that would stand as the example of how companies can put a social mission first. Tom is quick to challenge other business leaders to become more inclusive in their hiring practices.”
