✨Meet the Staff✨

Kevin has specialized in prosthetic and limb loss rehab for over 20 yrs. He is an adjunct professor at New York Institute of Technology where he teaches the prosthetics curriculum content for their Doctor of Physical Therapy program.

Kevin is passionate about making a difference in the lives of others. Kevin feels fulfilled when he’s able to alleviate someone’s pain or improve the quality of their life. His interest in prosthetics is rooted in the same reason. Kevin understands that suffering a limb loss is a devastating, life altering event, however assisting these individuals to regain their mobility and function after their amputations is extremely rewarding.

Some of our First Step team dressed to impress at this year’s annual Show You Shine adaptive runway fundraiser for the Limb Kind Foundation.

The Limb Kind Foundation is dedicated to helping children with limb loss regain their motivation and determination by providing free prostheses both domestic and international.

This fundraiser showcased individuals with limb loss strutting the runway with the goal to inspire those with shared experiences to “show their shine” and be “Limb Kind”.
