I bring together the various disciplines of business, psychology, holistic health, sustainability, sales and marketing, athletics, and yoga.  I am relentless in my search of wisdom, love and grace.  I work with heart, brains, and fortitude.

I have worked in a variety of marketplaces since age 16.  I have a variety of business skills that are highly transferable across industries: marketing, budgeting, finance, sales, strategy, sustainability.

Starting out in customer service, I worked as a parking valet, (www.aceparking.com) a gas station assistant manager, and a book store clerk, during high school at the historic John Coles Bookshop in La Jolla CA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cole%27s_Book_Shop

During my time at Stanford University, I worked as a nursery school teacher (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/bingschool) a private high school tutor (http://www.php.com/california-education-plan) and a research lab manager in the Stanford Psychology Lab (http://www-psych.stanford.edu/~psyphy/).

Synergizing the wisdom of religious traditions with the research of modern psychology, I have focused on natural health building practices like yoga, meditation, massage, acupuncture and tai-chi: thus working and living at Heartwood Institute and Esalen Institute.

I earned my 1200 hour Holistic Health Practitioner’s degree in 2005 from Heartwood Institute (www.heartwoodinstitute.com) and practiced professional bodywork at Cloud 9 Spa in Los Gatos, Ca (http://www.cloud9x.com). www.tantraeyes.com www.dynamichealer.com.

In the spring and summer of 2007, before Business School, I worked in front office, the kitchen and the farm and gardens at Esalen Institute in Big Sur California (www.esalen.org) to learn their business models, services, operations, and to get to know the community at large at the world famous Esalen Institute.

With the lifetime goal of synergizing the practices of Holistic Health (www.dynamichealer.com) with Sustainable Community Development, in 2007 I then enrolled in The Leeds School of Business (http://leeds.colorado.edu/) MBA program with a concentration in Sustainable Real Estate Development and an emphasis in Marketing and Sales.

A few noteables from biz school:   I lead a student speaking panel at the Annual CU Real Estate Conference, and delivered the student Key Note Address on sustainable community development in the new millennium.  As well, I had the great honor to win the CU NAIOP Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge in April 2009.  I graduated with distinction in May 2009.

“Faith and Courage” is my mantra.  “Will Power and Discernment” are the tools of my trade.

My business practices synergize the wisdom of modern Finance, Psychology, Yoga, Zen, Meditation, Art, Farming, Friendship, and Meditation.

I practice business that his healthy and holistic; in style, form and function.

I can equally well apply myself in the Board Room, in the trenches, or in the yoga studio.

I credit my success and joy in life to the support of my wonderful family, friends and the passionate teamwork that has always co-existed in my life.

Only through the sincere help of others are we able to be successful in life, work, and beyond.

Thank you to all who have been there for me, and been there for others, in creating a better world one breath at a time.

Thank you to all my relations.
