      I won't go into a long explanation of my younger life, but it was filled with adventures and challenges. Moving from country to country sometimes in school and sometimes not... Traditional school quickly became irrelevant and impossible to keep up with. I consider myself a lifelong learner, I read, and learn constantly and I learn incredibly well by watching others.

Moving from country to country sometimes in school and sometimes not... Traditional school quickly became irrelevant and impossible to keep up with. I consider myself a lifelong learner, I read, and learn constantly and I learn incredibly well by watching others. I have been fortunate enough to work alongside some of the very best! I have a GED and I have completed many College & Training classes all in pursuit of the skills vs the degree. I would say there are gaps in my education and knowledge but there are equally many skills I possess from my experiences, that serve me well. Show less

      Myself and a business partner have taken over ownership of this long standing East Coast Teambuilding company. For me this undertaking is both scary and freeing. I am committed to being of service to people, bringing joy, laughter, awareness, new tools, acceptance and holding space for challenging conversations. So here it is, being a business owner is forcing me to step up and really be what I am here to be. ACT - has many patented games used to create unique experiences that will lend insight to your current strengths and challenges as a team. We also have a fun take on the philanthropic offerings out there in the world - and my business partner and Chief Philanthropic Officer is committed to the authentic benefit of the people in need in your local area. Good relationships with organizations, careful pairing to your company for the right fit, and follow up at the end so you can see the impact of your teams' support.
