Sam Tayssoun

Sam Tayssoun

Owner

Sam's career is characterized by an unwavering commitment to serving others, a principle that has been the cornerstone of his personal and professional journey. This commitment was seeded early in life while caring for his elderly grandmother. This early experience laid the foundation for his current role in the home health care field. With an academic background as an agricultural engineer and a sub-specialty in plant cell and tissue culture from UniLaSalle Polytechnic, France, Sam relocated to Houston in 1994 to advance his career. Three years later, he co-founded a transportation company, growing it into a successful multimillion-dollar business. In this role, Sam managed the daily operations and customer service. Family has always been a priority for Sam. He often traveled back to his home country to look after his sick parents. However, travel restrictions during the pandemic made this impossible, leaving him to rely on the assistance of relatives, friends, and professional caregivers. It was through this challenging period that Sam gained a profound understanding of the struggles faced by the elderly and recognized the critical need for reliable, compassionate home care services. In 2022, Sam's path led him to Home Instead, a company whose mission resonated deeply with his personal values and life's purpose. He instantly connected with their vision of enhancing the lives of aging adults and their families, identifying it as his true calling. Outside of work, Sam's life is filled with family activities. He and his wife, Tania, have raised two children with a focus on faith, helping others, and community involvement. The family loves traveling and exploring different cultures. In his spare time, Sam enjoys reading, walking his dog, and spending time with loved ones. Sam can be reached at [email protected] .
