I have lived as a witness to the frustrations, barriers and limitations associated with the home all my life. My father contracted polio when he was in high school. After a stint in the iron lung, the disease left him paralyzed. My mother is vertically challenged, at less than five feet tall. I have seen my folks utilize grabbers to access the unreachable item. Quite often this did not work out well, resulting in more frustration when the item prematurely escaped the grabber device. Also, the sight of my mother on a stool or step ladder is frightening. My minds' eye can see her losing her balance and bad things happening.
	The arrival of my daughter and the absence of her right arm below the elbow further illustrated reaching limitation in the home. With the shorter arm, if items were too heavy for one hand and/or above her shoulders, she would need to stand on a chair to grasp it. This brought about another balance and falling concern within my household. Owning and operating a cabinet shop for 14 years, combined with my family background, everything seemed to make sense. Twelve years ago my father was trying to get something out of the upper cabinet, dropped it, and made the comment "Why can`t these cabinets come to me, instead of me to them?". The idea was born!

My father has never liked anything bulky or that looked out of place. Nobody wants items in their home that look odd. We all want our purchases to compliment our decor.

SO THE CHALLENGE WAS SET

It wouldn't be until 1996 that the solution would start to be solved with the idea of curved track and rollers. It would be another year and a number of different configurations of track before the ultimate design would be achieved. During several more years of constant improving and modifying, the design was getting closer, but I wasn't satisfied and knew it should be better.

Most challenging was locating suppliers to provide superior parts that accomplished what I specified, and manufacturers who could fabricate items that did not previously exist. The two statements I heard most was "That can`t be done" and "You can`t do it that way". I always asked "Why not? and What solutions do we have?".

In 2000, my brother Kyle became involved with modifying, improving and sharing ideas, which helped to make a great product even better. We were constantly challenging each other about design, application and especially safety.

We have taken extra time to create what we believe to be the safest, most adaptable, esthetically appealing and easiest to install upper cabinet system available.
