About Us
Founder
Our Founder, Christopher Stanford, is the inventor of the Hitch'n Roll quick release adapter and has used a manual wheelchair since his 1988 spinal cord injury while serving as an Air Force Engineering Officer. He has personally funded all collaborative university research, design, prototyping, testing and manufacturing optimization in order to facilitate and accelerate product development without the aid of federal grant or private investor funding. He also desires that this website inform the wheeled mobility community about legislative advocacy, health & fitness topics, technology advances and quality competitor products.
Faculty Collaborators
We have drawn upon the expertise of faculty from both Texas State University at San Marcos and the University of Texas at Austin from the Engineering and Physical Therapy Departments, most notably Professors Asiabanpour, Stapleton, Fernandez, Crawford , Valvano and Gobert.
Student Researchers
Numerous senior engineering students from the Manufacturing & Electrical Engineering Departments at Texas State University and Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Departments at UT Austin have participated with our founder's R&D over the past decade. Courtney, Benjamin, Ryan and Casey (pictured with Founder) comprised a recent Manufacturing Engineering team.
Manufacturing Partners
The easy to use 3D software and timely quality CNC manufacturing capabilities of eMachineShop have enabled us to achieve affordable low volume production of our patent pending Hitch'n Roll adapters. Local machinists Delbert Johnston and Joe Pieczynski have provided critique, suggestions and potential fabrication services.
Beta Testers
The San Antonio support groups, Rolling Inspiration, Texas Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, and Texas Disabled Veterans have supplied many brave beta testers for our products. Their evaluations and constructive criticisms over the past year have been an invaluable resource for our products' development, refinement and vetting as well as an indispensable assessment of our patent's commercialization value.
Business Development
The volunteers from the Austin SCORE and ProductCampAustin have provided informative seminars and one-on-one sessions to facilitate our startup's business development. Our company's product portfolio and growth are driven by satisfied customers like you!
