TPS Then & Now

GREAT HAIR, SHARP ‘STACHES, EVEN SHARPER MINDS

Several leaders, authors and advisers of the technical program have been with TPS since its inception in 1972, or very close to it. Through our TPS Then & Now campaign, we share their experiences and professional headshots featuring the best hairstyles and mustaches the 70s and 80s had to offer.
