Arthur was born with spina bifida, a birth defect that impacts his mobility. Taking note of how inaccessible and non-inclusive the world can be for those living with disabilities, he created Our View with the mission to educate, raise awareness, and to change the tone of conversation about disabilities. In addition, we aim to change the perception of how the world views those who live with disabil
ities, and how those who live with disabilities view themselves. From October 2013-July 2025, Arthur served as Executive Director of Build Jake's Place, a New Jersey based nonprofit organization named in memory of baby Jake Nasto. Jake's Place focused on creating inclusive play spaces (playgrounds) and experiences for every body, of every ability. The organization fundraised to build two inclusive playgrounds in New Jersey, and because of their efforts, 97 new inclusive playgrounds will be built in the state, because of Jake's Law. This law allows for counties and townships in the state to apply for Green Acres grants to build new inclusive playgrounds. In the summer of 2025, Build Jake's Place officially changed names to Our View. Under Arthur's leadership as Executive Director, Our View operates the Camden county New Jersey Miracle League, a baseball league for disabled children and adults. We host days of play at local Jake's Place playgrounds, facilitates school assemblies and workplace seminars on topics related to disabilities, and produces Our View, The Podcast.
