While growing up, Jose noticed his brother Joel always lose the fidget toys he used to help him focus and de-stress. His junior year of high school, Jose decided to create a solution for it - a shirt with a grommet added to the bottom to hold a keychain or any fidget toy. Not long after, a business was born - Tasium - a fidget infused apparel line to help people with Austin and ADHD handle stress, anxiety, and assist in sensory-related issues.
