History

Established in 2014.

Vanguard Mobility Solutions was founded by Dan Francis, Major, USMC (Ret.) in 2014. In 2013, Dan needed to buy a wheelchair accessible van to accommodate his daughter. In his search, he was appalled at the inflated prices that the local mobility dealers were charging. He found FR Conversions, maker of top quality rear entry vans, after an exhaustive online search, and purchased a mobility van from them.

In early 2014, Dan had to resign from his health care consulting job in order to take care of his ailing daughter. He recalled the great experience he had with FR Conversions, and recognizing the opportunity to help other families facing similar situations, he offered to be the California representative for FR Conversions. In May 2014 Dan officially founded Vanguard Mobility Solutions, exclusive California representative for FR Conversions mobility vans. In August of 2014, Vanguard began representing Lone Star Handicap Vans as well, The rest is history
