Yesterday my son Brandon helped me build a toddler mobility trainer (TMT). One of the steps when printing flexible material called Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is removing the stringy hairs that look like spider webs on the printed parts.

The pushrims for the toddler mobility trainer (TMT) are printed out of TPU and at times produce stringing. Trying to remove the stringing by pulling or cutting it is not efficient. Instead we use a heat gun to sweep over the areas with strings to shrink them down to nothing.

[Video Description: In this video Brandon uses a heat gun to demonstrate how quick sweeps over the stringing on the printed TPU parts shrinks the hairs down to nothing and results in a nice clean part.]

Today is my 31st injury anniversary and I wanted to share some things I learned over the past year.

1. I don’t feel disabled. People in this world with their words and actions make me feel disabled.

2. I’m a professional sitter and I’m damn good at it!

3. Assistive technology is my passion.

4. Getting a colostomy was one of the best decisions I made for quality of life.

5. The disability community is filled with incredible people.

6. The journey is better when you take time to enjoy it and live in the moment.

Yesterday at the Angel City Games my son Brandon got to try out a Dashmoto Mobility Scooter that belonged to TJ Lee. After a brief instruction from TJ, Brandon was cruising around. It’s incredible how fast these mobility devices can go and they are so small and compact. I love how the technology and innovation is evolving in the mobility space.

Lately I’ve been working on a lot of different projects and sometimes it can get overwhelming. My ADHD brain wants to tackle everything, but it’s easy to fall behind.

Today I made some progress on a prototype that has been consuming a lot of my time. As I got excited the classic song “Ms. New Booty” from Bubba Sparxxx popped up on Spotify and I had to break out into a happy dance.

My kids will be embarrassed by this, but this is me. I love music and I like to dance…when no one is watching.😆

Life is way too short and I choose to enjoy these little wins when they come my way.

Today is the 30th anniversary of my spinal cord injury (SCI). Wow that sounds really weird to say. Where did all of that time go?

This year I struggled with my mental health. I never thought that would be me because living with a spinal cord injury teaches you how to deal with so many unpredictable and uncomfortable situations. You build a tougher skin to handle adversity. But this was something that I could not manage on my own and so I got help.

Once I accepted that my feelings were real and that it wasn’t anything to be ashamed of I was able to build myself back up again.

Living with a spinal cord injury isn’t easy and I’m one of the lucky ones. The SCI life will test you at every turn and knock you down just when you thought you were making progress. However, it’s this life that made me the person that I am today and achieved the life that I always wanted.

I’m at a place now where I can use the past 30 years of my journey to help improve the quality of life for others. I’m truly blessed to have my beautiful family and proud to be part of the disabled community. Life is good!

FIRE ME UP!!!!🔥🔥🔥 Would like to congratulate my guy Big Andrew on winning our @grindathonathletics Newcomer of the month award for July!!!! EVERYTHING EARNED, NOTHING GIVEN. My guy has been training with Grindathon for over 3 months now as a semi private client and has recently been private training with his brother doing buddy sessions together the last 5 weeks. Since the first day he walked in the facility, his confidence, consistency, and demeanor is the real deal!!!!! He wants to get better, he knows it’s never going to be easy, and he isn’t afraid of hard work. He’s pretty quiet when it comes to putting in the work, but don’t let that fool you. He’s a HUMBLE BEAST. This young man gets after it!!!! In the time he’s been locked in with us I’ve seen amazing strides in his speed, athleticism, strength, coordination, change of direction, and confidence. He understands for him to be next level on the soccer and football field he has to put in the next level work ethic any time he gets. I see the growth before my eyes, we just gotta stick to the script now. As a staff we are beyond proud of him. Andrew is the definition of what it truly means to be a Grindathon Athlete. We are grateful to have you in the Grindathon family. Continue your path to greatness, the work never ends. Keep being great, the world will find out who you are soon enough !!!💯💯💯🖤🏁 #Grindathon #Grindathonathleteofthemonth #GrindathonNewcomerofthemonth
