MEET THE INVENTOR: NATHAN LAMASTER
Nathan Lamaster, the inventor behind the Pill Puncher, is a Recreational Therapist (CTRS) hailing from Tyler, Texas. With a passion for improving healthcare solutions, Nathan has dedicated his career to making a positive impact on the lives of others.
Drawing from his extensive experience and entrepreneurial spirit, Nathan has successfully founded several businesses throughout his career. His business portfolio includes SMART CEUs Hub, the largest online source for NCTRC pre-approved Recreational Therapy continuing education. Additionally, he has developed CEU Cloud, a mobile phone application designed to help individuals manage their continuing education transcripts and CEUs efficiently. During his work as a practitioner as a Recreational Therapist, he worked predominantly in the Long-Term Care with Seniors and Behavioral Health settings. It was during his work in Behavioral Health, working with nurses who opened hundreds of medications each day which came in blister packs, that he was challenged by the nursing staff to create a tool to use in this environment that was psych safe, efficient, and sanitary. Thus the Pill Puncher was born after 26 prototypes resulting in the best device for this purpose.
Nathan's passion for enhancing healthcare extends beyond his professional pursuits. In his free time, he cherishes moments spent with his family, including his wife and daughter. He also volunteers at KVNE, the local radio station where his wife works, demonstrating his commitment to serving his community.
Nathan Lamaster's ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit have been recognized through his US Patent (#10,792,223) for the Pill Puncher device and trademarks for both the name and IP.
