Committed to the Cause

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

- Mahatma Gandhi

ROB KISTENBERG, CP

President

Prosthetic Hope International is in many ways a convergence of Rob's lifelong passions: to build stuff, to travel, to help people and to care for our earth (not necessarily in that order). Since becoming an ABC certified prosthetist in 1992, Rob has demonstrated an enduring dedication to the service of people with amputations globally.  Rob obtained a Master of Public Health degree with a focus in Program Evaluation and International Health from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, Texas in 2005.  From 2000 to 2010 he served as the chair of the U.S. National Member Society of the International Society of Prosthetics and Orthotics. Rob has lectured in the U.S. and internationally and hosted dozens of mission trips to Belize and other countries.
