Meet the Core Power Team

	B Barnett Marketing I started running before I figured out how to walk. Gymnastics and soccer were my passions until I found cheerleading! Cheering brought me seven national titles and a spirit that never quits. After high school I stopped competing, but fitness is still a priority. I am a gym-rat now, and I am still trying to figure out when I will learn to walk.

	Austin Bristow Marketing - Indianapolis Born and raised in the Hoosier state, basketball was my first love. I played throughout high school and then came to terms with the fact that a 5’ 8” kid with little/no vertical should just stick to pick-up games. I started cycling and running while at Indiana University and then got hooked on triathlon in the spring of 2011. My biggest training challenge? Avoiding over-consumption of Nutella…

	Sophia Castillo Marketing - West Coast I've always lived a very active lifestyle. I was a competitive ice skater for 8 years and had the opportunity to travel around the United States competing - including Junior Olympics and Nationals. Dancing then became my passion as I learned various styles such as Jazz, Hip Hop and Modern. Nowadays you can find me running on the beach and doing Pilates – building my Core Power!

	Debbie DiFlorio Sales - Northeast Growing up in a very nonathletic family I saw through friends how fun competitive sports really are, so I tried many and unfortunately mastered non. After school, marriage and 2 kids I found myself looking for me time so I joined the gym where I discovered strength training. I also enjoy outdoor activities, hiking, biking and tennis. Being healthy and active does a body good!

	Tim Doelman Senior VP, Operations and Product Development Basketball was my 1st love in high school. Now I cycle, lift weights, wake board, & water ski. I’ve completed three half Ironmans. As a cyclist, I’ve had a few podium finishes at the Cat 1, 2 level. I'm a two-time state football champion and won the Idaho Cat 3 cycling championship. My real workouts? Keeping up with my 5-year-old and my 10-year-old.

	Jayme Girard Marketing - Northeast Growing up in a family of extreme athletes, it was mandatory to stay healthy & fit. Instead of digging up worms in the backyard with the other elementary neighborhood kids, I was dodging softballs being thrown from my father, and 100 yd dash time. While brutal throughout childhood, I look back and appreciate exercising my way through school. If not at home, you can find me sweating in the gym.

	Hans Maron VP Operations Wherever you see a ball, there you’ll see me. Playing hoops is my passion, but I’ve also been a competitive swimmer and love all sports. As a young boy sports kept me focused with what’s important in life. I love mentoring young kids through the power of sports. One of my biggest accomplishments was to take a high school team to the Nor Cal State Championship Tournament. Now, let’s play ball!

	Sue McCloskey Artistic Director In high school I competed in swimming and track. I ran the 100-yard hurdles for which I still hold the school record, if you can believe that! Currently I run, bike, swim and do strength conditioning several times a week.

	Trevor Miles Marketing - Dallas Fort Worth After High School I attended New Mexico State University and received a bachelors in Business/Economics with a Minor in Marketing. I have always been extremely active in sports including football, baseball, and swimming. I love taking on new challenges like bull riding, rugby, crossfit, and training for half marathons. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and taking on a new adventure. Although I love being active I have to also admit that I am a huge "foodie". From good 'ol fashioned BBQ to sushi, I LOVE IT ALL!

	Christine Phillips Finance I am a well-oiled machine…a well-oiled finance machine, that is! But that doesn’t mean I don’t also enjoy fitness and health. I love working for a company that not only promotes well-being and health, but also believes in these things on a personal level. When I’m not crunching numbers and putting out fires, you can find me at the gym, out for a run, or even participating in a 5K or 10K fundraiser.

	Anders Porter Director of Communications In high school I multitasked, playing varsity tennis while maintaining a sufficient level of geekiness. I've run the Austin Half Marathon three times. I ran the 2010 Chicago Marathon in a gorilla suit, which turned out to be silly. As much as I run, I also just think about running and choose not to run.

	Sara Reed Regional Manager - Southwest What gives me a better workout...keeping up with my two year and four year old, or a good long run? Probably both, and I always like to mix in a good core workout as well! Having completed 3 full and 4 half marathons, a PR is always a huge sense of accomplishment and great motivation to take on the next challenge.

	Matt Schiltz Regional Manager - Midwest Running is not a passion of mine, but I find it extremely helpful as I age in keeping unwanted pounds from collecting around my waist. I usually compete in a few (less than ½ marathon) races a year and am proud to say that I have achieved Blue Level status on Nike+. I can occasionally be caught “planking” to build my Core Power. I enjoy the following outdoor activities: duck hunting in North Dakota, fishing, golf, bonfires, boating, long walks on the beach, biking, watching fireworks, walking the dogs, trying to teach my 2 year old sports, and breathing…just to name a few.

	Jennifer Shumway Marketing - Central Texas Growing up I played competitive soccer while trying to be a gymnast in my spare time. High school was Varsity Soccer and Track & Field-sprints only, which makes my choice to become a marathon runner quite entertaining. I have completed three marathons and two 1/2s. I love any outdoors activity: snow and water skiing, tennis, and biking!

	Shakeel Ur-Rehman Chief Science Officer In high school and college I played cricket and hockey. Since then I have taken up running. I completed half marathons in both 2003 and 2009. Currently I’m running three to seven miles, five to six times a week.

	Becca Vaughan Sales - Colorado I hail from a small mountain town in Colorado so I grew up skiing in the winter and a little bit of everything else outdoors in the summer. I can’t say that I particularly excel at any one sport so currently I’m still giving my best at golf, telemarking, tennis, and running. I enjoy anything and everything outdoors and trying every type of fitness class possible.

	Scott Wu Regional Manager - West Coast Back in 2004, I ran the LA Marathon for the first time in my life on a dare and as a team-building exercise for my sales team. Without any prior training and preparation, I showed up with an empty stomach and high-top basketball shoes. I kept pace with my team members for the first 3 miles then they all left me behind. (Obviously they weren't Marines; they were salespeople!) My exact finish time is irrelevant, but I did finish after the police cars and trash trucks have vacated the race sites. They key word is "finish."
