Ralph Braun, founder of BraunAbility, was featured in an article in December 2009 for Inc Magazine for their "How I Did it" feature. Matthews Buses Inc was the first bus dealer to install a Braun lift.
Below is an excerpt from the article as well as a link to the rest of the article
"Ralph Braun, founder of BraunAbility, has spent his life thumbing his nose at spinal muscular atrophy, the disease that put him in a wheelchair. A born gearhead, Braun got moving again by building a battery-powered scooter and, later, a wheelchair lift for his van. Slowly, he turned these innovations into a business with $200 million in annual sales. Braun eventually closed the scooter business to focus on the lifts. But before he did, Braun made himself a lifetime supply of his scooters. "It's part of my wardrobe to have one of my triwheelers," he says."
