Jeremy J. Rogness
|
Due to a car accident and being born with a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy
Spastic Quad, Jeremy is confined to a wheelchair.
Even with these challenges he completed Air Force JROTC, participated
in Kaplan University’s online criminal justice program, and is certified as
an emergency manager through FEMA’s independent study program.
He also completed two years of aviation training.
Mr. Rogness has acted as the Executive Director of the Minnesota
Emergency Communications Team since its inception in February of 2007.
A large part Jeremy’s technical ability comes from working in medical
electronics. It is this background that would later serve him well when
inventing useful products for his own motorized assistive device. This laid
the groundwork for the Minnesota Emergency Disability Services’s Mobility
Awareness Safety System, a program designed to keep mobility devices,
scooters and wheelchairs safe as they move throughout their communities.
Mr. Rogness has also worked in the medical supply and equipment field
where he gained experience in business management, inventory management, and
medical claims billing.
It was during Jeremy’s time in JROTC that laid the foundation for his
beliefs and attitudes regarding leadership, volunteerism, and community.
