Our History

In the Spring of 2002, Christine Podracky, President and CEO, founded TSTC based upon Total Service – Total Commitment®.  Our desire to keep the company focused on our core services resulted in both unquestioned customer dedication and customer loyalty.

We have been providing high quality deliverables and services as a prime contractor to the DHS and other Federal entities since 2003. TSTC started small; our first contract in 2002 was for $5,000. From those humble beginnings, TSTC has grown into a multi-million dollar business. Our focus remains on our core competencies and our dedication to never sacrifice the quality of our deliverables and services.

Our decades long journey has resulted in amassing and leveraging vast amounts of knowledge of Federal governance and working groups, and building long-term relationships with our clients. Our institutional knowledge of many of the current and future policies, procedures, governance requirements, and resulting architectures and frameworks has enabled our staff to continuously provide the highest levels of service to all of our clients.
