Rise Above

Fifty years ago he was a young man in a wheelchair who needed to get to work.  Today Ralph Braun is CEO of BraunAbility, the largest manufacturer of wheelchair-accessible vehicles in the world. Capitalizing on the age-old saying "Necessity is the mother of invention," Braun refused to let his disability hold him back and, in the process, brought independence and mobility to thousands. Rise Above tells the story of how self-reliance, common sense, and a refusal to accept the status quo led to one man's triumph in business and in life.
