Tamarac, Fla., Nov. 7, 2016 - Tonight, Nov. 7th, tune in to CBS Sports Network to watch below-knee amputee and Hanger Clinic resident Tyler Wells compete in a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) event in the Power Triumph Games (9/8c). The 2016 Games, filmed at West Point in June, challenge world-class military veterans in a multi-round sports competition.

Wells served in the Air Force for four years, and lost his left leg below-the-knee as a result of a traumatic motorcycle accident. He first became part of the Hanger Clinic team in 2013 as a business development manager in Tamarac and the greater Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. His experiences working with other amputees inspired him to go back to school at Northwestern University to pursue a career in orthotics and prosthetics (O&P). Wells is currently completing his one-year orthotics residency in Florida, after which he will complete a prosthetics residency.
