Michael Franz
CTP, BOCP
Michael was raised in Charlotte, NC. His brother is in the O&P field and after visiting him at work throughout his childhood, he fell in love with prosthetics. He got his start as a Certified Prosthetic Technician in 2007 and did his schooling at Century College prior to becoming a Certified Prosthetist in 2015. What Michael loves most about this field is the hands-on aspect and the craftwork that goes into it. While he loves all aspects of fabrication in being a technician, meeting his first amputee and working with them is what drew him into patient care and becoming a practitioner. In his free time, Michael enjoys camping, fishing, mountain biking, kayaking, yardwork, and home renovations. He loves spending time with his wife, two daughters, and two dogs, Sir Augustus Pickles and George.
