Rob joined Arm Dynamics as an upper limb prosthetic specialist in 2005. “The most powerful moments in my work are when I get to see a patient use their prosthesis for the first time, drinking from a cup or reaching out and shaking my hand.” Rob is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists (FAAOP) and has been published in the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics. Rob graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science and received his bachelor’s degree in prosthetics and orthotics from the University of Texas-Southwestern.

Carina has worked as an occupational therapist in a variety of settings including acute care, inpatient rehab, and outpatient settings. She believes that understanding what is important to the patient coupled with the partnership between the prosthetist and therapist working in tandem helps the patient be successful with their prosthesis as they regain their independence with daily activities. Carina earned her bachelor’s degree in clinical laboratory sciences from UT Southwestern Allied Health Science Center and a master’s in occupational therapy from Texas Woman’s University.

Melissa is a mother of four, who enjoys spending her time off taking walks with her children, playing tag, singing praise and worship, and picnics in the Dallas sun. At work, she loves seeing our patients walk out the door wearing their prostheses. She knows that both she and her team have worked with the patient towards better functionality. Melissa enthusiastically enjoys being part of the Arm Dynamics family.

Austin was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX, and is a graduate of Baylor University in Waco, TX. With eight years of experience in the healthcare industry, he has worked with oral surgeons, periodontists, endodontists, and upper limb prosthetic specialists. Austin was attracted to Arm Dynamics because of their commitment to providing personalized care and creating innovative solutions that help each patient reach their goals.

When he isn’t home with his dog Millie, a four pound Yorkie, you’ll catch Austin out for long gravel rides with friends in the scenic Texas Hill Country.

Brennan has held many unique positions at our Dallas center since 2013. He has been a patient extender, lab coordinator, technician and currently, he enjoys his position as Arm Dynamics Silicone Specialist. Brennan lives in Fort Worth and wouldn't have it any other way. His time away from work is filled with spending time with his four kids and spending time outdoors to fish, hunt, and enjoy nature. Brennan's favorite thing about working at Arm Dynamics is the close relationships that are formed between coworkers and patients. "Arm Dynamics feels like an extended family and there is nothing better than hanging out with family."

Joel is originally from San Diego, CA. He is bilingual and helps the center translate for our Spanish-speaking patients. He relishes working with his hands and getting to create devices that are innovative and cool. Joel enjoys helping people with limb differences regain what they have lost or find new tools to meet their goals. The most fulfilling part of his job is watching the smile that crosses someone's face when they use their prosthesis to do something new or something they've been wanting to do for years, like strum a guitar. He loves feeling like he has helped make a difference in their life.
