COLLEGE STATION, TX, August 07, 2012 (Press-News.org) Under the umbrella of PositiveMotion, LLC, Stand2Learn welcomes Mack Westbrook on board as the President of their revolutionary company to help fight childhood obesity. With his extensive management experience, Mack will be responsible for managing all aspects of the business and driving continued company growth and expansion. His results-oriented approach and ability to think strategically will play a pivotal role in extending Stand2Learn's track record of innovation, while helping it grow profitability.
Mack joins Stand2Learn from Artco-Bell Corporation, where he was most recently Director of Engineering. He holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from Texas A&M University.
Stand2Learn is a revolutionary idea compared to 'old school' thinking. Stand2Learn desks are stand-biased giving the student the option to sit or stand in a classroom resulting in improved mobility, increased alertness, better focus on instruction & greater calorie burn rates.
Dr. Mark Benden, assistant professor at the EOH Department, School of Rural Public Health at the Texas A&M Health Science Center, is the master mind behind this unique design for the Stand2Learn desk. We are a Texas-based company whose product was born from the classroom through various iterations based on teacher and student feedback. Dr. Benden started this project over 3 years ago in elementary schools as a concept to fight childhood obesity and increase student focus. The concept has since grown into the development of 2 US Patented desk versions to accommodate Kinder through adults, and has several Patent Pending products in the pipeline for school and office.
Stand2Learn desks are a radical change from the old days of "Little House on the Prairie" wooden one-size fits all desks. As technological changes consume our schools, the basics of seating need a change as well. For further information, please contact us at (214)785-2125.
Stand2Learn Hires Mack Westbrook as President to Forge New Texas-Based Company Forward to Fight Childhood Obesity
"Stand2Learn is a leader in providing innovative stand-biased desks and educational solutions," states Westbrook, "I am excited to be a part of the team and look forward to helping students with learning and their well-being."
