I am uniquely qualified for a position as a Prosthetic Consultant. In 1975 I became septic which lead to the amputation of both of my legs below the knee.
During the years since my amputation I have become aware of the special needs of an amputee. The road from acceptance to proficinceny is a long and difficult. I felt the call to assist my fellow amputees with the use of a prosthesis, as well, as support, encouragement, and inspiration.
