Biography edit
Ensure that the following sections are organized by year. For instance, the section Marriage and children might be presented before or after the Expanded descriptions, and vice versa.
GO technologies was incorporated in Nevada by Daniel Reyes. Mr. Reyes had been injured when he was struck by a runaway vehicle while standing at a busy intersection in West Los Angeles. The accident resulted in the amputation of his right leg above the knee. Initially, he founded GO Technologies, Inc. to develop advanced products and processes specifically for the disabled. He began work on a folding shower seat, the Mira, which never saw production.
In August of 2002 Mr. Reyes purchased a 1967 Ferrari 330GT[3]which he could not drive as it has a manual transmission and he could not operate the necessary pedals with one leg. His intent was to use this car as a development platform for specialized driving equipment. During an interview, when asked why he purchased a car he could not drive, he responded, “Being an AK (above-the-knee amputee), I had no way to drive it,” adding that he was “determined to find a way.”[4]
