## Resource

Mike Chaussee. Mike’s top values are Freedom, Thoughtful Action, and Play. Not necessarily in that order. He tries to work those values into everything he does, including at his current job, which is as Executive Director for a non-profit called North Dakota Assistive. He’s been there about six years and loves the fact he gets to help people across the state discover freedom and play by finding solutions to some of the challenges they face. He helped define the organization’s current vision, to “Put Assistive Technology in Reach of Every North Dakotan.” He believes everyone needs to know about assistive technology’s benefits because even if they don’t need or want it now, if they’re lucky enough to live a long life, they will at some point benefit from assistive devices. His present and future were shaped by a North Dakota upbringing, a master’s level education,stints in broadcast journalism and higher education professorhood, and a family he can’t bemore proud of. He likes to ask and answer questions. That likely comes from being a journalist and teacher.
