Stop being pulled every which way by well-meaning friends and relatives when you can't get up out of your chair. invented the PULL ME UP™ in early 2014 after his doctor told him it would be 3 to 6 months before he'd be able to get up out of his chair following shoulder surgery. Realizing the surgery wouldn't affect the strength in his other arm, he fashioned a 2-sided handle using materials from
his workshop with hopes his 125-pound caregiver could use it to pull him out of his chair. Sure enough, just a couple of days after he got home from the hospital, she pulled him up very easily with his "pull me up" and he knew then he was on to something. is a former judge and a decorated WWII and Korean War Veteran. He prides himself on maintaining his "college football weight" and looking sharp. He realized pretty quickly that one of the best features of his "invention" was that he would no longer have to rely on others to grab him by the shoulder, arm or hand to try to wrestle him up out of his chair when he was out in public. So he started to carry it everywhere... to church, out to eat, to family gatherings. Everyone who pulled him up with his "handle" marveled at how easy it was and that inspired my dad to improve it and make it available to others who might need a hand up from time to time.
