No, he's not a blind ham, but he'll be a fresh face at Yaesu and given his 
background and experience working for the League, I suspect he ought to be 
at least minimally sensitive to the needs of blind hams and their years-long 
frustration with Yaesu's position with regard to accessibility. Given that 
his new job is to head up sales and marketing, I'd think he just might be 
interested in increasing Yaesu's relatively low position in the ham 
equipment marketplace by being willing to help us in return for our 
purchasing Yaesu equipment instead of encouraging hams, blind and sighted 
alike, not to buy it.

Hmmm, not really knowing who this individual is being over here in Canada,
is he a totally blind ham as well?
