Kevin Towers, CPO LPO

Kevin has a passionate and lively personality. He is not easily flustered or put off by a challenging situation. He is gifted with exceptional hand skills and can take an idea from his head and translate it out to his hands.

My grandfather was an engineer and a clock maker, my great grandfather was a lighthouse attendant and an artist. I have been blessed with their hand skills and my father’s analytical thought processes that lend itself well to this field. Although I knew I wanted to be in the patient care field, I became interested in the field of prosthetics by accident. Being able to translate my ideas to my hands and hyper-focus on the task at hand along with my ability to put people at ease and make them comfortable are my greatest strengths. What I enjoy most about working with patients is getting instant feedback and gratification from helping others. I am blessed and proud to be in this profession.
