Ted strives to keep the company on the forefront of office technology. TWR buildings are some of the first in the region to be completely outfitted with the latest in telecommunications wiring and are among the leaders in providing workplace WiFi accessibility.

Ted brought together area business, government, non-profit and education leaders to help achieve this goal. Currently, the forum is working on numerous projects, including the development of internship programs, leisure sports leagues and networking functions geared toward young professionals. Ted's commitment to the Long Island business community also includes memberships with the Long Island Association, Huntington Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Industrial Brokers Society.
