Leadership
“You are the epitome of hope and the antithesis of despair”
C. César Ibañez
Founder & CEO
My name is C. César Ibañez, and I was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Thanks to my uncle, I grew up with a love for comic books, science fiction, and all things science, which allowed me to immerse myself in a world where I could imagine abilities and devices that would help me transcend the limitations of my wheelchair. My main hobbies are learning and exploring my limits. I went to college to study biology in order to better understand my body and medical condition. I’ve also done paragliding, skiing, and currently figuring out how to scuba dive.
I believe we’re entering an era of superhuman potential, and I want to be part of the wave of modern scientific breakthroughs. From my wheelchair, I’ve seen, experienced, and achieved more than many with fully able bodies. Technology has brought me this far, and with Limitless imagination, I believe we can go even further. Through Ceez Industries, my goal is to help others like me seize new opportunities and gain greater independence!

Chad Southwick
Secretary & Chief of Staff
My name is Chad Southwick and I have had the pleasure of knowing Cesar since 2018. I was drawn to Cesar’s curiosity, witty sense of humor, and positive outlook on life despite his disability. Needless to say, we became great friends very quickly!
My wife and I had the privilege of helping him with day-to-day activities such as cooking, cleaning, getting in and out of bed, getting dressed, and performing workouts in the pool. During our visits he would enthusiastically go into “nerd mode” and talk about his ideas to improve the quality of life for people that have physical disabilities. Cesar’s vision to create Ceez Industries will now allow those ideas to become a reality, and I’m honored to be a part of the team to make it happen!
