Michael Archer and Case Calvert are powered up for

power soccer. It’s a fast-growing, competitive sport, and

for the uninitiated, the intensity of the games can come

as quite a surprise. That’s what brought these two friends

together — the chance for head-to-head competition.

Off the court, life is just as active. Michael is on track

his career as a graphic designer. Whether it’s to the

next game or the next job interview, both rely on their

BraunAbility Entervans to get them where they need to

go. An added bonus: they’ve got more room than any

other teammate to store the game equipment.

seriously injured in a vehicle accident nearly 20

years ago, but the couple (now married 15 years),

never gave up one of their greatest passions —

travel. They’ve journeyed across the country and

around the world (Portugal, Punta Cana and the

Yucatan, to name a few) with the help of their

BraunAbility Entervan. “Next to his wheelchair, our

van is the most important piece of equipment we

own for independence,” says Faith.

Their Entervan has gotten a little more lively in the

last year. The couple welcomed twins — Sophia

and Teagan — earlier this year, and now they’re

embarking on a completely new journey. For the

time being, suitcases have been replaced with

diaper bags and they’re taking more trips to the

stage of life and for all those that follow, they’ve

put their trust in the most reliable, most accessible

ride on the road.
