Aaron Westbrook
Founder & CEO
Form5 Prosthetics

Aaron Westbrook emerged as a pioneer in prosthetics in 2015. Born with only one hand, his journey into prosthetics began as a freshman at New Albany High School, after personally encountering limitations and gaps in upper limb prostheses. Undeterred, at age 14, Aaron embarked on a do-it-yourself mission to create his own using a 3D printer.

Aaron's determination extended beyond personal triumph. Having connected with the limb difference community through his "Alive With Five" blog, he aspired to make this technology accessible to others. Inspired by his vision, a successful Kickstarter campaign enabled him to purchase a 3D printer, leading to the establishment of Form5 Prosthetics as a 501(c)3 non-profit in 2017. While growing Form5, Aaron completed rigorous coursework at The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business and received his undergraduate degree in 2022.

As a CEO, Aaron has propelled Form5 along a remarkable trajectory, guided by its strategic pillars of Community, Research & Development, Education, and Sustainability. The organization consistently realized its vision -- a world where individuals with limb differences possess the confidence, resources, and support to achieve their dreams. 

Aaron Westbrook's transformative journey exemplifies the power of one person's determination to make a positive impact, and Form5 stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment for those with limb differences.
