While rising costs have led many businesses to increase their prices, Sean Sheehan remains committed to a simple belief: everyone should be able to enjoy a great glass of wine without it becoming a luxury. His commitment to affordability reflects his larger dedication to making a positive difference in New Mexico. 

That commitment extends well beyond the winery. Sheehan actively supports community organizations, including the Somos Unidos Foundation and the New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NMCADV), helping strengthen the communities that surround him. He also makes a point of buying grapes from multiple small, local farmers, giving them a reliable market for their crops and helping ensure small agricultural operations remain viable and continue contributing to New Mexico’s wine industry. 

For Sheehan, doing business isn’t simply about selling wine—it’s about creating opportunity, supporting people, and giving back to the community that makes it all possible.

Our approach is for everyone—from athletes seeking better performance to people managing pain or recovering from injury, and anyone who wants to stay active and capable. Whether it’s sports, dancing, playing with your kids, or simply feeling your best, we help you build a body that supports the life you want to live.

The Movement Lab is built on decades of experience. Co-owner Amanda has taught movement since 2000 and GYROTONIC® since 2011, while co-owner Jared began working as a personal trainer in 1998. As a locally owned Albuquerque business, we believe our impact should extend beyond our studio. Our mission is simple: create healthy people to create healthy communities, while creating opportunities for local fitness professionals and making a lasting impact on the community we call home.

From customized menus and fresh on-site cooking to personalized décor, we create memorable culinary experiences that bring people together. While our business has grown tremendously through the support of our community, we are proud to remain a small, family-owned and operated business where every event receives a personal touch.

Noah’s Table is a multi-year Best of Albuquerque Top 5 Catering honoree, but giving back remains just as important as growing our business. Noah supports Albuquerque Public Schools culinary programs, sharing his experience with students, and our family has dedicated more than seven years to coaching youth through Yucca Little League in Bosque Farms.

We also recently created the New Mexico Culinary Collective to support fellow local chefs and culinary businesses by connecting them with new opportunities, driving referrals, and helping small businesses grow together rather than compete for every opportunity.

We are proud to build our business, raise our family, and invest in the community that continues to support us.

For us, success isn’t just about growing Noah’s Table—it’s about helping our community grow with us.

We develop computational fluid dynamics for AI-based quantum emulators and computers.  We achieved a New-Mexico-first by successfully completing a quantum-emulator simulation involving time-dependent, computational fluid dynamics equations.  This milestone leads to quantum-computing for aerospace, turbulence, and faster-than-nature weather modeling.

ASE also pioneers innovative materials for increased quantum-computer performance and high-temperature alloys for aerospace, fission and fusion reactors.  Patents are being developed.

In collaboration with Sandia Labs and UNM, our patent-pending, nature-inspired surfaces demonstrated up to 55% aerodynamic-drag-reduction; this greatly-reduces vehicle pollution and fuel consumption.
