🌟 Genesis Employee Spotlight: T. J. Chapman 🌟
For over 11 years, T. J. Chapman has been an integral part of Genesis, serving as Lead Systems Engineer on our Customer Support Team. His expertise, warm-hearted nature, and dedication make him a cornerstone of our mission to support our partners in Public Safety Communications with excellence.
T. J. is married to Gracie Chapman, our QA Champion, and together they’re raising two kids, with one more on the way very soon (any day now)! He says his favorite part of working at Genesis is simple but meaningful:
“I get to see my wife, Gracie, at work! Plus, I love the team that I work with; our team feels like family.”
When asked about his favorite Genesis memory, T. J. recalled an adventure while training his colleague Jon Hernandez:
“We took a work trip to Maryland and squeezed in sightseeing at the National Mall in D.C. We rented e-bikes to make it to the monuments faster, only to get caught in a huge rainstorm. People huddled under awnings thought we were crazy as we flew by, drenched on our e-bikes. It was unforgettable!”
T. J., thank you for your years of commitment, leadership, and the joy you bring to the Genesis family. We’re grateful for all you do! 🙌

🏆 Team Genesis FTW! 🏆
Not to brag, but…okay…maybe just a little. 😊 Congratulations to our incredible, superpowered spelling bee champions, Jan Roberts and Robert Boggs. In a fairytale story, they brought home the traveling trophy in the 34th Annual PAVE East Texas (formerly The Literacy Council of East Texas) Corporate Spelling Bee!
✨ The theme this year was “Once Upon a Time”, and Team Genesis became Team Little Red Riding Hood. One by one, each speller gave it their best shots as the words became increasingly more difficult. But the suspense reached a boiling point during the sudden-death, winner-take-all round. In the end, Jan Roberts (aka the Big Bad Wolf) huffed and puffed and blew us away with a speed round that would put ChatGPT to shame. 27 words in under 2 minutes!
🌟 Ultimately, the real winners of the day were the people served by PAVE. PAVE East Texas delivers impactful, adult-focused education to help individuals improve their lives, while also empowering families and strengthening communities throughout East Texas. Whether someone seeks better job prospects, educational advancement, or a supportive learning environment for their family, PAVE’s programs are designed to open doors to brighter futures. We are grateful for the vital work they do in our community. ❤️

🌟 Refuel & Refocus! 🌟
We had the honor of welcoming Emma Thorne, Program Coordinator of The Alzheimer's Association – East Texas, and Shannon Trest, Manager of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

👉 Did you know?
* More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050, that number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million.
* 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia — more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
* Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the nation $360 billion in 2024, and by 2050, those costs could rise to nearly $1 trillion.
🗓️ Join in the fight! Mark your calendars to participate in the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s, happening on Saturday, October 25th at UT Tyler.

🤩 Whew! Still catching our breath! 🤩
We had an incredible week in Baltimore at the Genesis User Forum, APCO International, and the Motorola Trunked Users Group National Meeting.
Our week kicked off with the Genesis User Forum, a day jam-packed full of pulling back the curtain on our latest software and — most importantly — collaborating directly with our customers. Their insights and honest feedback are vital to pushing Genesis Performance Management Solutions forward. They are more than customers; they are our partners. They are our friends. We consider ourselves blessed.
Then came APCO, the world’s largest gathering of Public Safety Communications professionals. We say it every year, but this was the best APCO week ever! We’re beyond grateful to everyone who took time to visit the Genesis booth to experience the very latest Genesis software. The energy and passion in this industry never cease to amaze us.
Our Customer Appreciation Night at Camden Yards with MCM Technology was a home run! Good times!
Finally, we wrapped up our busy week at the Motorola Trunked Users Group National Meeting, where we connected with decision makers who shape the landscape of Public Safety Communications. We are grateful to everyone who took part in our GenWatch session! Shout out to MTUG for recognizing the Women of LMR, honoring the vital role women play in our industry.
Our hearts are full. We are beyond blessed to be part of such a vibrant, dedicated community full of great people who care deeply about what they do and about each other. Thank you for letting us be a part of it. We look forward to 2026 in San Antonio!

We are always excited and grateful to collaborate with the great minds at the Motorola Trunked Users Group, promoting safe and effective Public Safety Communications practices and innovative communications technology.
One important area of focus at this year's National MTUG Meeting is Women in LMR, recognizing the vital contribution of women in our field. Without brilliant, compassionate, and dedicated individuals like Kelley Clarida and Rachel Johnston, Genesis would not be where we are today.
