      Associate Director

      I help teach yoga, instruct in anatomy and physiology, and do whatever else I can to support Heartwood Retreat Center in Bradenton as well as Reflex Arts Dance and Yoga Studio in Sarasota. Sometimes it's building an addition or wiring lights and heat, and sometimes it's just sweeping the floors. Good times...

      I moved from full-time work to part-time consulting for Viking in October 2014. I am currently seeking some very challenging full-time employment in the electromechanical or biomedical technology fields, or in programming. I am also interested in consulting and contract work that demands someone who thinks far outside the box.
