Who We Are
Helping you take the next step to ergonomic success
Every organization has the extraordinary potential, and responsibility, to positively impact employees’ health and well-being through proactive and productive ergonomic practices – and that’s something we want to be part of.
As Certified Professional Ergonomists, our passion remains solidly grounded in optimizing human movement in the workplace through improved design, work practices, tools, and equipment, and helping organizations achieve the next level of ergonomic injury prevention.
We have a wealth of knowledge and experience and know firsthand that a strong partnership starts with a conversation. We listen to each of our client’s problems or concerns, and work hand-in-hand with them to customize a solution that meets each of their objectives.
Everything we do is with the goal of helping organizations be “better than yesterday” and take a step (or many!) towards a healthier and safer workplace for all employees.

Alex Stinson, B.Sc., R.Kin., CCPE
Certified Professional Ergonomist
I started my career in a clinical setting, working with athletes, but quickly became frustrated with the reactive nature of the work. I wanted to be proactive, so transitioning to ergonomics was seamless and fulfilled my desire to take a preventative rather than reactive approach to injury.
Ergonomics also includes a creative element, which had been missing in my career. Every ergonomic challenge has a variety of potential solutions, and the fit of each depends on factors such as workplace culture, layout, budget, and more. I love the challenge of evaluating an ergonomic problem and using innovation and creativity to drive successful solutions that are unique to each client’s needs.
Jen McGillis, M.Sc., R.Kin., CPE
Certified Professional Ergonomist
A desire to help people and prevent injuries were always at the heart of ‘my why’ but it wasn’t until I started my Master’s Degree, and dived into ergonomics more deeply, that I found my passion – and quickly realized how it could expand my impact on injury prevention.
Whether I’m delivering a training session, or partnering with a business to solve an ergonomic challenge, I always strive to stay worker-focused, ensuring that every educational moment or ergonomic solution is grounded in preventing injuries in practical and sustainable ways.
I feel privileged knowing that I help guide organizations to a safer workplace every day.
Dennis Larson, Ph.D., AE
Associate Ergonomist
My interest in ergonomics began while completing my undergraduate Human Kinetics degree. Driven by a passion for understanding human movement, I pursued a Ph.D. in Biomechanics, where I investigated the influence of back muscle fatigue and lift movement (re)training on lumbar spine motion control during repetitive lifting tasks.
I strive to utilize my biomechanical knowledge to reduce the burden of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders in the workplace to ensure everyone gets home safe and injury-free at the end of the workday.
Dawn Rynberk, B.Sc., R.Kin.
Ergonomic Specialist
I aim to deliver assessments that apply sound biomechanical analysis to identify physical demands, potential MSD risk factors, and improve human movement at work. With a strong background in functional demands and Return to Work, I strive to bring my deep understanding of injury and employee functional abilities to all assessments to improve workplace fit and function.
Sandi Danilowitz, B.A.
Affiliate Ergonomic Specialist
I am passionate about improving the physical, mental and social wellness of employees by raising awareness on ergonomics, conducting assessments that support improved health and implementing programs and initiatives geared at improving the overall wellness of employees.
