Audubon Orthotic & Prosthetic Services Colorado Springs, Colorado How did you get involved in O&P? I was a therapist in orthopedics and working quite a bit with amputees. Therapists didn't get paid much, so I went back to school. Also, my wife was a therapist, and we were driving each other crazy! What would you change about O&P? Abolish healthcare politics! Get away from the "business" of healthcare and get back to the business of patient care. What's your worst job-related experience? Product failure in which someone falls. Tell us about your family. I have three kids: Sean, 13; Heidi, 10; and Evan, 8, plus four-legged family members: two dogs, several cats, horses-a regular "Old MacDonald's Farm"! Any regrets in choosing O&P as a career? No. Every day I get to see people realizing life doesn't end with amputation. The fact that I can help makes it all worthwhile. Any plans to retire? Yesterday, but that didn't work out.
