HONORING TY SAFRENO AND HIS INNOVATIVE LEADERSHIP Congressional Record, Volume 169 Issue 28 (Friday, February 10, 2023) [Congressional Record Volume 169, Number 28 (Friday, February 10, 2023)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E115] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING TY SAFRENO AND HIS INNOVATIVE LEADERSHIP ______ HON. SALUD O. CARBAJAL of california in the house of representatives Friday, February 10, 2023 Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to applaud the innovative and compassionate approach exemplified by one of my exceptional constituents--Ty Safreno who implemented a childcare center as part of his business Trust Automation, Inc. Ty embodies the true spirit of American entrepreneurship. Utilizing his degree in Manufacturing Engineering from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Ty began his business in the 1990's alongside his wife Trudie. In just three short decades, he turned his technology start-up into a staple of the Central Coast. Boasting over 100 employees, Trust Automation, Inc. works on cybersecurity, semiconductors, and other technologic advancements. What makes Ty remarkable is how he treats and cares for community members. He cultivates a workplace environment that emulates a close family dynamic and is described as brightening people's day. Amongst the Safreno family's achievements is successfully installing the Trust Children's Center, an affordable and high-quality daycare center that services both Trust employees and the San Luis Obispo community. On- site childcare is a feat that only a few companies, let alone a small business, have successfully conquered. Ty's commitment to the well- being of his employees is equally impressive and commendable. On behalf of the 24th Congressional District, I am honored to congratulate Ty for his well-earned title of 2022 San Luis Obispo Citizen of the Year. I would like to personally thank Ty for his admirable leadership and wish him well in all his future endeavors. His story is an inspiration to small businesses everywhere. ____________________
