Adam Amundson

Portland State University, Graduate Student


Adam Amundsen is pursuing a graduate degree in the Visually Impaired Learner and Orientation and Mobility programs at PSU. While managing a bicycle shop in Portland, he began volunteering for several adaptive sports organizations. Eventually, he combined his knowledge of running a business with his commitment to inclusive recreation when he founded Different Spokes, an adaptive-specific bicycle shop that customized cycles for people of all abilities. Teaching others about inclusive cycling and seeing how it provided independence and mobility for people with disabilities was an eye opener for Adam and inspired him to pursue a career as a TSVI and COMS.
