The Living Timeline
This is not a résumé. It is the connected history behind the QuadCapable Platform: service, injury, recovery, technology, travel, advocacy, business, media, and what comes next.
1978
The beginning of a life that would eventually move through military service, business, catastrophic injury, adaptive technology, advocacy, and public storytelling.
USMC
Marine Corps service established the discipline, accountability, mission focus, and problem-solving mindset that later became essential.
Penn State
A business education reinforced systems thinking, communication, planning, and the belief that complex problems can be broken into solvable parts.
August 23, 2014
A dive from a boat caused a C3 complete spinal cord injury and forced nearly every ordinary part of daily life to be redesigned.
Hospital and rehabilitation
Breathing, communication, positioning, equipment, caregivers, routines, and family support became the foundation for the second life.
Adaptive technology
Voice access, environmental control, eye gaze, power mobility, computers, smart-home tools, and adaptive gaming restored access to work, play, and community.
QuadStick and streaming
Adaptive gaming became recreation, community, technical experimentation, and a visible demonstration that access can restore more than function.
Stand Up For Me
The mission expanded from solving personal problems to helping other people with paralysis obtain useful technology and independence.
Stalwart
The work grew into assistive technology procurement, veteran outreach, clinician education, relationship building, and practical systems change.
Travel
Airports, cruises, hotels, road trips, equipment, caregivers, transfers, and accessibility failures became the foundation of the Travel Bible.
Media and speaking
Podcasts, articles, videos, documentaries, interviews, and speaking opportunities created a wider platform for practical disability knowledge.
Today
A living archive and digital headquarters connecting story, media, travel, adaptive technology, speaking, advocacy, and resources.
A living timeline of the people, events, technology, travel, work, and decisions that shaped QuadCapable.
