Chariot Riders
|
 The Exmovere
The Exmovere Chariot moves on two wheels, using what looks like
Segway-like technology to stay upright, allowing the "rider" to have
their hands free and can go about the usual business without much encumbrance.
Sensors keep the chariot moving where the user wishes it
to go.
According to David Bychkov, CEO of Exmovere, "The Chariot represents an
exciting path for our company. Whereas our team was originally focused
on designing sensor products that monitored signs of life, the Chariot's
sensors are designed to make life more livable. We especially hope that
the Chariot will offer dignity, strength and increased mobility to those
who were wounded serving our country."

Lyons Staff Profile

 Pat Harvey
Office Administrator
In her own words!
I'm a "Jersey Girl" transplant to Myrtle Beach, SC and I have been with Lyons P & O for 3 years.
Some of my favorite things to do!
Watch classic movies
I enjoy listening to all kinds of music and love to dance.
One of my favorite past times is to just sit in on the beach
in a comfortable chair and read a good book
I truly enjoy and find this position with Lyons P & O
very rewarding in that we change peoples lives.
But, spending time with my family and friends is what I do
best.
