HARMONIX TECHNOLOGIES, INC & YOUNG MILLIONAIRES

Jack T. Vigil has always possessed an entrepreneurial spirit — and a strong desire to help others.

“I have always wanted to help people and have found ways throughout my youth to offer services such as chopping wood, fixing computers, mowing lawns,” Vigil says. “I love building anything from a house to a business and I love providing solutions of value to others.”

Vigil’s work in the technology and engineering field eventually led to him founding Harmonix Technologies, Inc., a company that specializes in design build architecture of IT networks and also provides augmented IT service contracts for customers ranging from commercial, educational, local, state and Federal government agencies.

“We live and breathe our craft,” he says. “It is not a hobby for us. We master what we do and we have a team that is incredibly adept at what they do from every department in our organization. We are truly special forces in the world of Information Technology.”

Vigil recently launched a new company called Young Millionaires (YM), which is focused on the self-development of entrepreneurship and personal enrichment. Building individuals to change their lives for the better has long been a passion for Vigil, and this endeavor helps to fulfill that mission.

“I founded YM because I wanted to take the steps that helped me succeed and break them down for others to begin doing today,” he says. “Success is like mathematics, you have to learn the basics, but once you do you can move onto difficult equations and simplify them using the basic steps you already mastered.”

Moving forward, Vigil plans to continue to build in a positive direction.

“The true measurement of a great leader or king is how happy and fruitful the people living in the kingdom are. I truly believe in my soul and heart; to who much is given, much is expected.”

January marked the end of a memorable era at Western Dermatology Consultants, as Dr. Leslie A. Glass, one of the practice’s original founding owners, retired after more than three decades in the industry.

Dr. Glass, a Los Alamos native who attended the University of New Mexico and has been practicing in Albuquerque since 1988, specialized in surgical dermatology during her tenure. She enjoyed the field in part because it allowed her to see a wide variety of patients — including men, women and children — while also working in different environments. “It was just interesting,” she says.

Western Dermatology proved to be a leader in the industry when it became one of the first locations in Albuquerque to incorporate a medical spa into the practice. Since 2001, Western Dermatology has offered services such as body sculpting, BOTOX and laser hair removal in addition to general medical and surgery dermatology.

“I think we maintain a good mixture of all of it,” Dr. Glass says. “We’re able to make sure that all our estheticians and RNs on our spa side are very well-trained and constantly keeping up on their continuing medical education.”

The future at Western Dermatology is bright, and Dr. Glass is confident the practice remains in good hands with the likes of Carol Purcell, PA-C, Dr. Barbara L. Einhorn, Dr. Catherine N. Tchanqué-Fossou, and Katie Joshi, PA-C .

“I think of the good reputation that Western Dermatology has,” Dr. Glass says. “We prided ourselves on trying to do our best that way, and I think we probably accomplished it.”

In retirement, Dr. Glass looks forward to traveling, visiting her daughter in Boston and having extra time to work on her golf game. She believes that she leaves a positive legacy at Western Dermatology that will carry on in the years to come.

“I think it’s trying to do things well,” she says. “Just because it is simple doesn’t mean you should do it. Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you should not do it. I’ve always tried to have that kind of an attitude about things.”
