Organized by Systems Engineer, Teddy Hoisington, the outing was more than just a game—it was an opportunity to connect, laugh, and enjoy time together outside the office. According to Teddy, “My New Year’s resolution was to get the Houston office to play more golf, and we’re off to a great start!”

Why Golf?

Golf is a sport that combines relaxation, skill, strategy, and as with everything at DMC, a touch of friendly competition. It’s also a great way to step away from screens and spend time outdoors. For our team, it was the perfect setting to strengthen relationships and recharge for the year ahead.

Whether they were a seasoned golfer or picking up a club for the first time, the focus at this outing was on fun, not perfection.

These quotes capture the essence of the day: lighthearted, supportive, and full of good humor.

The Green Meets the Board

From the first tee shot to the final putt, the evening was filled with laughter, encouragement, and a few unforgettable moments. Some of us discovered hidden talents, while others… well, let’s just say we kept the course lively!

To borrow from DMC’s infamous quote board, here are a few one-liners from the course:

“When I play golf with my father-in-law, I play much better than this.”

– Davis Robeson, Project Engineer

Davis reminded us that golf can be humbling—but also hilarious when you’re among friends.

“What the Houston DMCers lack in golf skill, they make up for with great attitude and excellent engineering skills!”

– Sydney Robeson, Event Guest
(Davis’ wife, and completely unbiased participant)

A perfect observation that sums up our team spirit. We may not be PGA pros, but we know how to bring positivity and problem-solving to any challenge.

“Put me down for a 6….but it was a very
hard-earned 6.”

– Andrew Wambaugh, Project Engineer

Golf is all about persistence, and Andrew’s determination was inspiring (and relatable for many of us!).

“I was really impressed with Teddy’s 40-50 yard wedge game. He has some real potential!”

– Jason Mayes, Senior Director, South Region

Just kidding, he didn’t really say that.

Core Value in Action: Have Fun

Our company’s core values aren’t just words on a page—they guide how we work and interact every day. Have Fun is about creating an environment where people feel energized and connected, and this golf outing was a perfect example of that value in action.

Taking time to enjoy each other’s company outside the office strengthens our team and makes us more effective when we’re back at work. It’s why each DMC office has a monthly Activity Fund stipend to organize social outings. It’s a reminder that success isn’t just about hitting targets—it’s also about building relationships and enjoying the journey.

Looking Ahead

The golf outing set the tone for what we want 2026 to be: collaborative, positive, and full of moments that bring us together. Teddy’s resolution to get the Houston office playing more golf might just become a tradition—and we’re all on board for that!

A big thank you to Jason, Davis & Sydney, Ray, Andrew, and Teddy for making the Activity Fund outing such a success. Your enthusiasm and team spirit are what make the Houston DMC office such a great place to work. Here’s to more fun, more laughter, and maybe even a few more birdies in the year ahead!

The game was a nail-biter from start to finish, with both teams battling hard on the ice. In the end, the Islanders edged out the Stars with a close 3-2 victory, but the real win was the camaraderie and fun shared among the DMC Dallas team.

Living Our Core Value: “Have Fun”

One of DMC’s core values is simple yet powerful: “Have Fun.” We believe that when people enjoy what they do and who they do it with, great things happen. Welcome parties are one of the many ways we bring this value to life. Every new employee gets to choose an activity for their celebration, and Pruitt picked a hockey game—a perfect choice for an evening of excitement and team bonding.

These events aren’t just about having a good time; they’re about creating meaningful connections. When we step outside the office and share experiences, we strengthen the trust and friendships that make our workplace culture so special.

Pruitt’s Take on the Experience

“I’ve never been to a hockey game before,” Pruitt shared. “I had a great time! It’s always nice to hang out with the people from my office, but this was also a fun opportunity to hang out with another new engineer, Spencer, who was hired around the same time as me and happened to be on-site in the area.”

It’s moments like these that make our Welcome Parties so meaningful. They give new team members a chance to connect not only with their immediate colleagues but also with others across the company.

More Ways We Have Fun at DMC

Welcome Parties are just the beginning. At DMC, we make sure fun is woven into the fabric of our culture through:

• Monthly Activity Fund Events – From escape rooms to LEGO build nights, these events give team members a chance to relax, recharge, and connect.
• Holiday Parties – Celebrating together during the festive season is a tradition we look forward to every year. Art galleries, new restaurants and immersive murder mystery themed dinners are anything but typical dull company parties.
• Team Outings and Social Gatherings – Whether it’s a sporting event, a group dinner, or a creative workshop, we love finding new ways to enjoy time together.

These activities aren’t just perks—they’re part of what makes DMC a great place to work. They help us build a sense of community, foster collaboration, and remind us that the people we work with are not just great at their job, but great people too!

Why It Matters

Creating opportunities for employees to bond outside of work isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about engagement. Studies show that teams that share positive experiences are more collaborative, innovative, and resilient. At DMC, we’ve seen firsthand how these moments translate into stronger teamwork and better results for our clients.

When new employees like Pruitt join our team, we want them to feel welcomed, valued, and excited about their future here. A hockey game might seem like a small gesture, but it’s a powerful way to say: You’re part of the team, and we’re glad you’re here.

We gathered at Game Show Studio, a unique venue that transforms guests into contestants on spin-offs of popular TV game shows. From the moment the team walked in, the energy was electric. Bright lights, big hats, loud buzzers, and a stage set up just like the shows the team watches on TV made everyone feel like the game show contestant they always dreamed of being. 

The Houston team split into groups and competed in a series of challenges inspired by classic game shows. There were trivia rounds that tested the team’s knowledge, fast-paced buzzer games that kept everyone on their toes, and even some hilarious challenges that had the whole team cheering.  

Highlights of the Night

• Celebrating Davis: Davis jumped right in and showed off his competitive side, making the event even more memorable. It was great to see him and his wife connect with the team in such a fun setting. 

• Big Hats: The props closet at the Game Studio was top-notch. Everyone was able to pick accessories (including giant cowboy hats, disco ball helmets, and tricorn hats) that fit their personality!   

• Laughs and Surprises: Some of the questions and challenges led to unexpected answers and funny moments that we’ll be talking about for weeks. 

“It was quite fun working together as a team to come up with answers,” Davis shared. “The games were spin-offs of popular game shows like Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, and Family Feud. Before we could even start playing, everyone had to select a costume to wear for the duration of the competition. The costumes alone were well worth the laughs we got out of one another, especially when we were trying to come up with serious answers. I appreciated that we all leaned into the ridiculous nature of the event and absolutely made the most of it. At the end, DMC brought home the win!”

Why We Celebrate

At DMC, we believe that building strong relationships within our team leads to us delivering exceptional solutions to our customers. Events like this give the team the chance to relax, have fun, and strengthen the bonds that make our workplace collaborative and enjoyable. 

We’re thrilled to have Davis on board and can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make as part of the Houston team.

The LEGO Enthusiasts 

LEGO bricks are more than just toys; they are tools for creativity, problem-solving, and team building. Many DMC employees have been avid LEGO builders since childhood, and this passion has only grown in both the skill necessary to complete the project, and the price of the sets involved. The intricate designs and endless possibilities that LEGO offers align perfectly with the skills and temperament required for engineering and project management. 

The NASA BOLE Project 

Just like LEGO’s, many DMC employees have followed NASA’s space program since childhood and were thrilled to work with NASA. The NASA BOLE project is a critical initiative aimed at extending the life of the Space Launch System (SLS) boosters. This project requires cutting-edge engineering, meticulous planning, and innovative problem-solving. DMC employees working on BOLE are at the forefront of aerospace technology, ensuring that NASA’s missions continue to reach new heights. Learn more about DMC’s work on the NASA BOLE project. 

The Monthly Activity Fund 

DMC’s monthly activity fund is designed to promote employee team building. Employees can use this fund to organize activities that bring them joy and foster connections with their colleagues. A few examples of Monthly Activity Nights include sports events, Top Golf games, and cooking classes. However, a perennial favorite of DMC employees is LEGO night!  

Our LEGO enthusiasts have creatively utilized the monthly activity fund to support their passion. They have organized LEGO-building workshops, competitions, and even collaborative projects where employees work together to build large-scale models. These activities have not only been fun but have also strengthened teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.  

A Unique Synergy 

The combination of LEGO building, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity funds for the St. Louis and Seattle offices have created a unique synergy at DMC. Employees are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, blending their personal interests with their professional responsibilities. 

At DMC, we believe that fostering a culture where employees can pursue their passions alongside their professional goals leads to a more engaged, motivated, and innovative workforce. The combination of LEGO, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity fund is just one example of how we are building dreams, one day or brick at a time.
