I was a job developer placing disabled adults in gainful employment. I contracted with RSA in Arizona from 1990-96.
I worked at the homeless shelter as a job developer for the next 3-1/2 years.
I enjoy working with work station mods, adaptive equipment and jigs and fixtures.
I made the first HeliX (TM) rims in 2006.
