After the birth of his second daughter, he decided it was time to start his own O&P company. Jace saw the need for a mobile O&P practice that will travel to the patient vs the patient coming into the office. “When it comes to patients that are disabled, making appointments puts a lot of burden on family members. This way we can work together and see the patient in their own environment.”
Jace stays up to date on all the newest technology. He has fit many myoelectric prosthesis and as well microprocessor knees and feet. He will discuss options and will provide the device that will allow the patient to have the greatest chance to succeed.
Jace enjoys spending time with his family. He also enjoys spending time outdoors including camping, hunting, playing golf, and watching the razorbacks.
