Yeah, so myself, I'm a mechanical engineer. I've been working for over 15 years to serve people with disabilities, starting with a nonprofit that I founded. And I'm all about bringing the best of technology to everyone.

Yes. So for me, it all started back in high school where I noticed a student who would pull the recycling behind his manual wheelchair. And one day I saw that the recycling bin was too heavy for him. So he had to have someone basically come rescue him and wheel him back to class. And, you know, I asked, you know, why didn't he also have a power wheelchair as well?

And his teacher told me that it was denied because he can move like 100 yards under his own strength. That didn't feel right. And so I traded a moped for a wheelchair on Craigslist. I tripped it out for him. It totally changed his life.

And then I had all these other people coming to me needing wheelchairs as well because their insurance had denied them or because of one reason or another they didn't have insurance. And so since then I've refurbished and given away well over 150 wheelchairs. And that's kind of why I became an engineer. And it's specifically why this population is one that I serve.

Yep. For me now, it's literally a little over 15 years now.
