About me.
My name is John. The spinal printer. I had an accident when I was 18 years old. I broke my neck (in 1987), and that is called spinal-cord injury. I injured my neck at the height of the C4/C5 vertebrae. That changed my life forever. After being in a rehabilitation centre for 12 months, I could go home. When I went home, I wanted to do something with my life, so I started studying to be a photographer that was in 1992 after passing my exams, and it was hard to get a job as a photographer with a disability as a photographer. So in 1995, I started school again, this time as a graphic designer. I passed my exams in 1997, tried to get work as a graphic designer and web designer, bought it was a real struggle. But I never give up hope. At this time, I met my ex-wife, and with her, I have two wonderful children. In 2013, I started as a volunteer at the school where my children went to. There, I assess teachers in their classes, and I love it. So it shows that even with a disability, you can have a fulfilling life. In 2016, I started my 3D printing adventure together with my son. I am really glad you got me into this great hobby that has got a bit out of hand, that is with all hobbies, I guess. I still do some photography, but 3D printing has become my main hobby. I had a small photography studio in my apartment, but I have now changed it into a 3D printing studio, a great choice, I think.
