Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor
ReInvent Fitness
(Health, Wellness and Fitness industry)
September 2008 — Present (2 months)
You know you can meet your personal goals, but it helps so much to have someone to provide you the personal attention, thoughtful information, tools, support and encouragement that you need to go all the way. I can help you get the most out of your workouts, improve your diet, build exercise into a lifestyle, and introduce you to great resources, tools and techniques that will last you a lifetime.
Your road to health is unique to you. You might be looking to lose weight, gain muscle, tone, get moving and off the couch or even learn how to breathe easier and release that tension you've been carrying for more years than you can remember. Having a fitness program that gives you a range of tools can enhance your life in countless ways. I work with you to create personalized fitness options that keep you engaged, active and yes, relaxed. -

Founder & Director
Now Art Grants
(Fine Art industry)
January 2007 — Present (1 year 10 months)
Now Art Grants combine the small donations of many individuals and make these available to artists whose work creates art that catalyzes social change. These artists often work with no pay and slim budgets because the activist nature of their work is often dismissed as "not fine art" or because art remains devalued as a viable career choice by society. Members of the damali ayo and now art mailing lists donate any amount they choose to the grant pool. This money is combined and granted to artists who show their commitment to social change through their work. The art created by Now Art Grants will have a component that is delivered directly to those who have donated the grant funds as a direct return of the funders' investment.
Now Art holds that the primary role and responsibility of art is to mirror the dilemmas of society to its citizens, offering a catalyst for change and development. -
