In February 2007, Paul lived in South Carolina and was VP of a large tech company. His diabetic father, veteran of the Army, helicopter pilot during the Korean War, owned an outdoor store and was an avid outdoors-man. In 2007, his father had gangrene in both feet which led to a double amputee at the age of 70. Six months later, after much therapy, Mr. Morgan could walk using a walker, but needed independent mobility to attend church, go to the grocery or visit computer shows (his hobby), so they turned to the regional VA Hospital for help in providing a proper-fitting power wheelchair. THREE YEARS LATER, January 2011, Mr. Morgan finally got the power chair HE WAS FITTED FOR IN 2008!
​
After his father passed away, Paul called the VA to request pickup of his father's new wheelchair that took three years to receive, to which they said, “We don’t pick up used equipment.” Through a local charity, Paul found a woman who needed a chair and delivered it to her. This woman was beyond surprised and grateful.
​
This experience guided Paul's career path, directing him to use his engineering expertise to serve those like his father, not getting what they need, when they need it.
​
Today Paul's life has come full circle. He gets to help veterans and first responders. This is truly his calling and he is forever grateful to give back to men and women like his father who unselfishly served their country. Paul's expertise designing huge network infrastructures and high-end, complex-rehab equipment is being used to fulfill his calling in designing wheelchairs for warriors.
