The Rotater is in the news with pictures

I am exhausted. We (Joint Mechanix) did our second interview/photo shoot in three days – after working all night. But, you’ve got to ride the media while you are hot.

The Montgomery Advertiser article

Kym Klass, a reporter from the Montgomery Advertiser in Montgomery Alabama, contacted us on Monday about doing a feature article on the Rotater.

On Tuesday, we traveled to Montgomery after working all night to take pictures and answer questions. The whole process took about 4 hours, including drive time, but was worth it.

The article is titled “Pair hope patients in rehab turn to Rotater” and appeared in the paper yesterday. I am not sure how long this link will be good, but it is good right now.

A number of people have contacted me about posting a picture of myself on this site. I am trying to get it done, but right now, it’s not a huge priority. However, there are a number of pictures of me and Scott with this article ( I am the bald guy ).

The Auburn Opelika News

We were contacted by Bob Prater, a features reporter for the Auburn Opelika News yesterday. We met with him today ( again, after working all night) and spent about an hour taking pictures and answering questions.

An article about the us (Joint Mechanix) and the Rotater is supposed to be published in this coming Sunday edition. 

UPDATE!  12-7-07   The Auburn Opelika News featured an article about us on the front page today!

“Local inventor revolutionizes rehab”  

Hard work is paying dividends

As a personal development writer, I am living what I write. My life is a whirlwind at times, because of the time and effort involved in living the ideas that you espouse. However, it is never dull, boring or uneventful. I’m having a blast.

Juicy tidbit

On top of all this excitement, we were contacted yesterday by someone from the “Big Idea” with Donny Deutsch. She spoke with Scott for about a half hour and said that they would be back in touch with us. Maybe we’ll be on TV.

    Chris:

    It was with great excitement that I read your latest post, seeing how the “Rotater” has caught the attention of the media and how you guys are taking full advantage of it! That’s fantastic.

    You are definitely doing all the right things…taking on interviews and fielding phone calls that might lead to even better things down the road. It pays to do so while you guys are “hot.”

    With regards to your readers asking (pleading??) that you put up a picture of yourself at this blog, that’s something I would recommend you do as soon as you can.

    It doesn’t take that much to do and it would bridge any gaps that might exist for some of your readers who are visually oriented. In fact, I was one of those readers who made that suggestion because I like seeing who I’m interacting with. I believe having one makes a blog or website more personal and brings you closer to people who want to get to know you more. That’s my two cents worth.

    As usual, GREAT POST! I’m VERY EXCITED for your success. You are surely on the metoric rise to the top and I’ll see you there sometime. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Stephen

    Thanks for your always “upbeat” encouragement. The article that I thought was going to be featured on Sunday, was instead featured on the front page today. More work - but good work. I’ll keep you abreast and thanks again. It means more than you know.

    Yes, I know it means more to you than I’ll realize because I’ve been on the receiving end of this kind of support and encouragement. So I know how you’re feeling and I’m happy to be your “outside” rock while you go through all this stuff. You’re on the way my friend.

    Have a good weekend.
