In early January of 2020 I started to see videos on YouTube of a virus outbreak in Wuhan China. My name is Bill Potthoff, and unfortunately, I have terminal cancer. It is a slow growing tumor in my small intestines and spread to my liver and lymph nodes. Since I have a serious medical condition, I wanted to insure I had the best protective equipment to help protect my family and me from the virus. As I was investigating different mask and watching videos on which mask protected best, I was also concerned about not looking so sterile as I walked around with a mask.
We were fortunate enough to meet Abraham Rezek, unfortunately we met because of cancer. His wife Pam also has stage 4 cancer. As we started to discuss getting the proper personal protection equipment to protect our families, we started meeting different people who had the same concerns. Dave Shaw had experience bringing medical devices to market. Chris Brady has an extensive background in marketing products on-line. David and Dani Corbitt brought the most valuable component. Industry knowledge and contacts with sewing companies who could put our 6-ply mask together.
