Employee Stories

Chris has been in the Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) industry for over twenty years, a certified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) since 2006, and an employee of Numotion since 2010. Providing customers access to better equipment, building lasting relationships, and helping people through major challenges is what motivated Chris to come work for Numotion.

Darlene is a Service Coordinator and mom to Numotion customer, Ricky, who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Encouraged by a former Numotion employee, Darlene applied and joined the Numotion team in October 2016. “After interacting with them at different service appointments, they saw my passion for improving my son’s quality of life and pushed me to apply because they knew that passion could help others.”

They entered the local community more than a decade ago as True Mobility to provide solutions for those needing assistance to stay mobile and independent. In 2021, True Mobility joined SpinLife. Michael said today, as SpinLife New Castle, we have the power of the largest national mobility services organization behind us, and we continue to raise the bar of service to our local communities even higher.

Cynthia joined Team Numotion in August 2014. Before coming to work with Numotion, Cynthia had worked alongside the Louisville Numotion ATPs for years in the field. “In the Louisville market, the ATPs from all companies have known each other for years and have even worked together at other DME companies. I was interviewing for another job but was advised by an OT at one of our seating clinics that Numotion would be a better fit for me. HE WAS RIGHT!”

Daniel is a Service Technician in Fresno, California. He joined Team Numotion in October of 2021 after learning about the job on a Veteran’s job search website.

Aaron is a Numotion Assistive Technology Professional. In 2015, Aaron joined Team Numotion as a Service Technician after previously working as a customer service representative at Kroger. “I heard about the service tech job through the service manager.  I knew how to turn a wrench and one of my strengths is problem-solving so he asked me to come aboard and help him out. I had no idea what would come of it, but it was honestly one of the best decisions I have made in my life,” said Aaron. 

Caitlin joined Team Numotion three and a half years ago, training in Nashville before she moved to Springdale, Arkansas to be the sole Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) for that branch. Caitlin began her career as an Occupational Therapist at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. While there she had the opportunity to specialize in their seating and mobility clinic working directly with Numotion ATPs.

Christy began her career as a Physical Therapist and spent 9 years working in outpatient pediatrics with  children who used CRT equipment. Providing clients with equipment to improve their positioning, independence, participation, and/or access to their environment was her favorite part of being a clinician.

Rodney joined the Numotion team in April of this year. “I was intrigued by a career that would allow me to combine my joy of working with my hands as well as using the degree I earned,” said Rodney.

Through his time as an ATP, Jeff developed a passion for serving people diagnosed with ALS. This passion would set the course for many opportunities to serve those living with ALS. One individual in particular, Steve Gleason.

Jeff began working at Spinlife in December of 2000 when it was just the beginning. “A friend of mine told me he knew the owner, thought the company had great potential, there was an open sales position and another mutual friend of ours was currently as the other salesman. I was working as a supervisor for a men’s homeless shelter but was looking to find something different and the entire concept of Spinlife intrigued me, so I applied for the job.”

Josh Turek joined the Numotion team in September 2019 as a Specialty Account Manager. Josh’s motivation to join Numotion was fueled by his desire to be a part of an organization that was committed to providing the best care and equipment to individuals with disabilities. “I believe that going into doctor’s offices, being a successful, educated, and well-spoken end-user allows me to be the ideal person to be the face and voice of the organization to providers,” said Josh.

Executive Director for the Numotion Foundation, Justin Richardson was injured in a diving accident after a night out with friends when he was 22 years old. He had been a competitive swimmer and ran the management division of a pool management company in the Raleigh, NC area for many years prior to his injury. When asked to describe the circumstances surrounding the accident, he stated, “The water was the last place I would have expected a spinal cord injury like mine to occur. That said, one careless dive changed my life forever and at approximately 3 am on the morning of August 10th, 2003, I became a C 6/7 quadriplegic.”

Lauren has always had a passion for working with individuals with complex communication needs. “I believe that everyone should have a way to share their voice, their thoughts, and have a way to communicate independently. Working in this role allows me to help so many individuals to do that! The best thing about my job is seeing someone able to communicate in a way they could not before. I love hearing from an SLP or a parent who says their client/child has been able to communicate something that they have never been able to say before!”

Jill has a personal connection to Numotion that has impacted her perspective of her role at Numotion. Her sister-in-law was diagnosed with ALS in 2013. Watching her and her brother through that journey changed her outlookon many things.  “I was so grateful at that time to be working for Numotion, it gave me a purpose.  Many times during these types of situations you want to help, but don’t know what to do or say. This was my opportunity to take something that I do every day and use it to help my family. Through this I realized how important the role of a caregiver is, and how important it is that we listen to their needs as well as the patient.  I have come out of this experience understanding that the people we serve are not just those that are confined to the chair,” said Jill.
