NPS has been an industry leader for the past 50 years. Most of this driven by Dennis’ passion of spreading Pedorthics not only throughout the USA but worldwide…more on that in a later post.
Dennis and Jeremy have been involved in and/or leading Pedorthic Education for the past 30 years. NPS collaborated with PW Minor throughout the 90s with Xtra Depth University, training a large percentage of the incoming pedorthists of that era. Shortly thereafter we oversaw all of the pedorthic education at Ball State University and Dennis and Jeremy are now core faculty at the Midwest School of Modern Pedorthics. Dennis has also participated in the pedorthic education at Century College and Northwestern University.
NPS is generally well represented at and often lecturing at the industries’ primary meetings and symposiums such as the PFA symposium, AOPA and AAOP conferences, Primefare Scientific Symposium and many other local industry meetings. Dennis and Jeremy both presented at this past AOPA conference in Orlando and Dennis will be speaking at this year’s conference.
Dennis has over 80 publications to his credit and brings his message and passion of pedorthics to countless others through online and in-person lectures still to this day.
Dennis and Jeremy have worked in partnership with many companies over the years in consultation, advisory, and education roles such as PW Minor, Orthofeet, OHI, Tamarack, Thorogood, and Dr. Comfort. They have also led the way in different partnerships in research, product development and design as well as orthotic software design.
Dennis is a past president of PFA (Pedorthic Footcare Association), a Seymour Lefton award winner and he recently received the PFA “Founders” award.
NPS continues to train the future of the industry, keeping up with new and innovative products, materials, and techniques while always staying grounded in the tradition of NPS’s handcraftsmanship and personalized products that we have been delivering to our patients for half a century.
