New job

(Justin) I've committed to work with a company here, Kifas Ortopedik (here is their Facebook page).  They make affordable, high-quality wheelchairs for use in third world countries where handicap access is a rarity. Kifas was founded in 1993 by Ken Erickson and has developed a reputation for quality and integrity. 

I'll be posting more information about Kifas as I work.  I will be overseeing the launch of a new product line, developed in Bozeman, Montana, for children with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or other disabilities. The success of Kifas hinges on its ability to successfully manufacture and sell this new chair this year. 

Kifas is re-booting itself after some recent struggles. In the coming months you'll see a new webpage, a new marketing strategy, and a high quality wheelchair at a lower price than the competition. Behind the scenes there will be a newly cleaned and organized manufacturing facility with 12-15 Turkish employees.

This is a major transition in our lives that will require a lot of faith. Bare with us as we make those changes. 

If you have any web design expertise, an interest in international marketing, know a student looking for a summer or semester internship, have connections to the physically handicapped community in the U.S. or abroad, or would be interested in learning about how you can invest in Kifas, please let us know.
