Why we do this

AssistAnt was started by Teddy Pivacek, an appliance repairman from Tennessee who went back to TCAT at 40 with his son Anthony, “Ant.” Teddy wrote that he wanted to give everybody a better place to work and a better opportunity. Ant was killed by a drunk driver in 2024, and AssistAnt is named for him. Helping people get their start is the point. Read Ant's story.
