Tom Hetzel

Tom has been an innovative and compassionate leader within the industry since 1987. He is also one of the most fun-loving guys you will ever meet!

Tom Hetzel, PT, ATP
Director

Tom has been working in the wheeled seating and mobility industry since 1987. Tom joined forces with Joe Bieganek in 2000 to help grow Aspen Seating, the parent company of Ride Designs. Prior to that, Tom consulted and educated on wheeled seating and mobility both domestically and internationally during his tenure with Jay Medical and Sunrise Medical and through his own company, Humanity over Technology.

My favorite thing about working at Ride Designs is...
our team's ever-improving ability to meet the seating challenges we face daily.

What we do at Ride Designs is so important because...
we keep people moving and engaged in their lives.

My childhood was spent...
dreaming about owning and serving in a company like this.

In high school, they thought I was Most Likely To...
become a rock star or host late night television.

On the weekends, you'll find me...
with my wife and two kids playing, exploring, hiking, cooking, and maybe performing a couple chores.

The five items I can't live without are...
my family, my employees, our customers, my faith, and my Palm Pilot.

The celebrity I resemble most is...
David Letterman and Cher

The last great book I read was...
Good to Great by Jim Collins.

My most humbling moment was...
not so much a moment, but the on-going experience of meeting the people we serve and learning their life stories.
