What is your favorite spectator sport? Participation sport?

Baseball is my favorite spectator sport, and I like to play basketball.

What made you decide on O&P as a career?

I fell into it. I was doing accounts receivable at a firm, and then was sent to various fitting courses. There was a lot of need for mastectomy fitting work.

Who is your favorite cartoon character? Why?

SpongeBob SquarePants, because his pet is Gary the snail--he meows!

If you could be a movie star, who would you be?

George Clooney.

If you could retire tomorrow, how would you spend your first day in retirement?

I'd fly to Ireland.

What was your most memorable work experience?

My boss fit a C-Leg on Krishna Thompson. He is the amputee who lost a leg in a shark attack two and a half years ago. I watched the casting.

Belize Mission Brings Satisfaction, Adventure
“I was very proud of what we provided. The fit and alignments would pass in any facility in the US. We worked long hours in makeshift, though adequate, conditions. Things were tried and done that I’d never seen in the States, but they worked for us to get the job done. All in all, it was a great experience.” —Doug Potter, CPO Salute!
