Joe Barra

"I was lucky enough to come across Acentech through some mutual connections and decided to apply. I was granted an interview even though there wasn’t any open position at the time. What I enjoy the most about my profession is the opportunity to improve the accessibility and usability of new and existing spaces for people who would need it."

Keep Moving

“Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving… you will come to a better place.” -Uncle Iroh, ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’
