I was drawn to the field by a desire to help patients improve their function and achieve their goals. The field of prosthetics and orthotics allows us to make a positive impact on people’s lives through the fabrication and modification of an individualized device. I believe successful outcomes can only be achieved if a patient’s goals are taken into account when developing a device recommendation. When not at work, I am either spending time with my family, rooting for my favorite sports teams, or hacking it up on the golf course.
