Born without legs and improper bone growth in his arms, Vail Horton, has used his disability as his asset rather than a liability. “The truth is that we are all disabled,” he says. That is the blunt truth. We all have some form of physical, mental, or psychological shortcoming. What we do with these and how we get around these determines the course which our life takes. We can hide behind these or we can leapfrog over them as Vail has chosen to do.
After graduating from college, Vail helped invent the “Keen Krutch” to alleviate the problems associated with the traditional crutch. With this Keen Mobility was born that he co-founded. Today Vail is the founder and CEO of Keen Healthcare company. Keen has ranked within the top 50 companies on the 100 Portland’s Business Journal Fastest Growing Private Companies List for five consecutive years and ranked on the Inc. 5000 for four consecutive years.
