Why create this experience?
I believe that environment is everything. In the past, I have felt the most alive when I am in a community of dynamic people that are going after the things they want in life. I want to take this premise to the next level: creating a very intentional environment where community members have an extended time (30 days) with the support, education and feedback to create a viable product or course.

Since graduating from The University of Georgia in 1998, I have had one priority that superseded all the rest: to create a lifestyle for myself so that I could use my time the way I see fit. I seek out ways to fine tune and adjust this practice every day. It keeps me excited to get up in the morning.

Qualifications:
Event planning and management experience:
- In my first career (8 yrs,) I was a 1st Assistant Director for music videos, commercials and feature films in Hollywood for 8 years working with top talent in the industry (e.g. music videos for Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Jennifer Lopez, and commercials for Ford, L’Oreal, the NBA and Disney.) It was my job to manage up to thousands of people (including the production crew, extras and talent) as well as budgets of up to 3 million dollars to deliver the vision of the Director in a timely manner.
- Later I founded Volunteer Experiences, a non-profit that inspires people to make volunteering a part of their lives. Over the last 12 years, we have taken 200+ people on multi-day trips to New Orleans to rebuild homes devastated by Hurricane Katrina with Habitat for Humanity.
- For the past 9 years, I have been a certified CrossFit coach, group and personal trainer and nutritional coach. Coaching people about food and exercise has taught me an unbelievable amount about how humans react to situations where they are put under mental and physical stress. This experience has given me great tools in understanding verbal and, more importantly, non-verbal cues and how to positively and compassionately respond specifically to the individual not just the situation.
