Get ready for an inspiring story of tenacity and hard work as Dr. Hoby Wedler is joined by Thomas Stivers, Systems Administrator for the Travis Association for the Blind at Austin Lighthouse. Ever since high school, Thomas had big dreams of working with computers, but it wasn’t until later in his career that these dreams would become reality. Thomas enrolled in a computer science program in college, but due to the lack of accessibility, he wasn’t able to complete his degree. He applied for a summer job at Austin Lighthouse and went on to hold various positions, from receptionist to basic technology skills trainer, while always keeping his dream in mind: working in IT.
Tune in to discover how the persistence, hard work, and ambition Thomas showed throughout his career allowed him to prove his capacity to perform his dream job. Thomas shares his journey from initially lacking the drive necessary to take the difficult first step, to realizing that starting somewhere can lead to growth.
