           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.
