Injuries from a motor vehicle accident while a student at The Ohio State University resulted in Tom becoming a below knee amputee in 1974. His experiences during this period shaped not only his career choice as a prosthetist, but also the philosophy of care that has become the standard at the company he eventually founded.

In addition to his primary clinical focus on upper limb amputee care, Tom divides his time between the management of POA and speaking on the topic of upper limb prostheses to surgeons, physiatrists, occupational and physical/hand therapists as well as case managers and payers involved in their care. His work has been published in The Atlas of Amputations and Limb Deficiencies, Surgical, Prosthetic, and Rehabilitation Principles, Third Edition, published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Oct. 2004. Tom also provides expert witness testimony and life care plans for organizations in the US and elsewhere in the world representing upper limb amputees.

Laura is the Director of Clinical Services and Chief Operating Officer at Handspring. She studied Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester and went on to Northwestern University to earn a Certificate in Prosthetics. Laura has nearly two decades of experience in upper limb prosthetics having worked for the manufacturer Touch Bionics, the developer of the world’s first multi-articulating hand and partial hand solution.

​

Laura has been an integral part of Handspring since its inception in 2012. She works with clients primarily in New York and Colorado while also educating therapists, physicians, and case managers about the impact that successfully created upper limb prosthetics can have on the lives of their patients.
