Simmons has never been afraid of a challenge, and that is why it was no surprise to anyone when he and Astound’s executive team brought the company into the mobile arena last year. Holanda hit the gas when it came to rolling out Astound Mobile, expanding its availability over the summer to customers in approximately four million homes the company passes across 12 states, including to those in the NYC metropolitan area, Chicago and its surrounding markets and the markets in and around Washington, D.C. The two work to ensure that no matter how successful or large Astound gets, it always has a local feel. In the past year, Astound has partnered with non-profit Dream Come True to support its annual telethon and auction, and it worked with AXS TV to award a $2,000 grant to Will Rogers Academy in San Antonio in an effort to support music education programs.
