About our panelists:
–
Ryan Hobbs
” Originally I am from Weddington, North Carolina and eventually went to NC State where I graduated in 2019 with a degree in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in biomechanics. I was not ready to work for a large engineering firm and wanted to learn more about the patient compliance side of healthcare, so I pursued VFA and eventually found Guideway Care in Birmingham Alabama. I am involved with a few ministries down here in Birmingham, love the outdoors and never complain about it being too hot (I hate the cold). I am an avid runner, cyclist and have even gotten involved in a crossfit gym down here which has been a lot of fun. “

” Hi everyone! My name is Griffin Drye and I am a Business Development Specialist and R&D Engineer at Point Designs in Colorado. I graduated from NC State in the spring of 2020 with a degree in Materials Science and Engineering. At NC State, I developed my passion for 3D printing and upper limb prosthetics by being one of the founding members of The Helping Hand Project and working with the nonprofit throughout my college career. After graduation, I joined VFA and found my dream job at Point Designs, where I work to help design and manufacture 3D printed titanium prosthetic fingers with a focus on heavy-duty, functional design. “
