• Speak And Work As A Team: We never go it alone, and only win together. We know that everyone is important; no one is more important than another. We build each other up and form stronger bonds with every interaction. We tear down silos. "They" is not in our vocabulary because "we" are TAPS.

• Spend Wisely: We treat the company as if it were our own. That's why we track and optimize our resources. We balance people, time, materials, and budget to ensure we’re being smart with money and eliminating waste.

• Take Action: You won't find us standing on the sidelines waiting for the perfect solution. We know when progress is more important than perfection. We’re agile, quick, and make well-informed decisions. It's what lets us move further, faster.
