By Scott Darnell I had mentioned last week that I would share some more good news this week, and it fell together today. I came up with a concept back in December of 2015 that I have been trying to bring to life ever since. Alexis Montanez my brother Roger Darnell cousin Joel Ridings have been integral parts from the start, and everyone else had to sit through my spiel. Along the path, the

I had been hoping for such an opportunity since before Greenville University had an engineering program...so I was very pleased one day when I had the following experience: I dropped a letter coming back from the bank while crossing campus, a young lady came by to give me a hand and Anthony Macon came out as well. I told him of my wishes and within a few hours I was

Late last year, with extraordinary support from Alex Montanez, Scott Darnell applied for the 2019 Lexus Design Awards. As you may have seen, he made the Shortlist, but was not named a Finalist. By watching this YouTube video published mid-March by Lexus, you can see what Scott and Alex came so close to achieving. Here's how Scott's application began.

Today is Veterans Day here in America, a day of honor and celebration that has its roots in "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918, when Germany signed the Armistice to end World War I. I have written before about what this day means to me. My military service took place during the relatively peaceful era of 1985 to 1990, but it still wasn't all that easy. I know firsthand

Everybody has their "Superman" when it comes to their wheelchair. We all know the situations; backed into something and pinched the power cable, home health aide takes off armrest, unplugs cable so male and female ends don't mesh; cable coming out of joystick box gets frayed by swing-away action; any of dozens of scenarios can occur, leaving you freaking out because your powerchair will not
