VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS:

Over the last 15+ years I have used my skills volunteering thousands of hours designing, modifying, and fabricating adaptive items for individuals with severe disabilities. Anything from simple toys for kids to very labor-intensive adaptive joystick-controlled drive-by-wire 4×4 recreational vehicles. The satisfaction of helping individuals accomplish things otherwise not achievable is fun and rewarding. The smiles of joy and appreciation from the individuals and their families always make the effort worth the time. Some of the adaptive projects can be seen on the Design Ability Inc. – 501c3 Nonprofit website and YouTube channel at www.designabilityinc.com.
