My inspiration comes from 30 years of helping patients with back pain. After watching people struggle with sitting and seeing product after product fall short, I knew there had to be a better way. I lived it too. Several back injuries left me with vertebral fractures and disc herniations so severe a surgeon recommended surgery. I refused. That experience is what drives me. If I can help more people avoid what I went through, that is worth building for.

My passion for health and wellness has motivated me for more than 30 years. My background in athletic training, biology, and chiropractic taught me that posture and biomechanics affect how people feel, move, and live. Every day, I see what happens when people are not properly supported and aligned. Building ergolign lets me take what I have learned and turn it into something that can help far more people than I could ever treat in my office.

I would use the $25,000 to support pilot production, launch marketing, and customer acquisition for ergolign's upcoming launch. As a lean, pre-revenue company, that investment would help turn years of product development and two utility patents into real market traction and meaningful impact for people dealing with sitting pain, poor posture, and long hours of sitting.
