I grew up in Cameroon, Japan, Canada, and China. From the very beginning, I’ve been immersed in change, transition, and diverse ways of being. My expansive world-view, eclectic style, and open-mindedness come from my life, and they are the foundation of my professional practice. I dedicate myself to constant exploration, progress, and personal evolution, and I think that’s why I have the ability to facilitate lasting transformation in others. Humans thrive when we move, adapt, learn, and grow. We collapse when we stop moving, adapting, learning, and growing. We are all reservoirs of potential, and even if we have tapped into that potential, we still have limitlessness to unlock. Movement, bodywork, and self-discovery are keys. I want to empower you to use them. This is what I live for and this is why I created Rocksteady.

I am a man of many hats. I work the front desk. I answer the phones. I am the scheduler, the marketer, the designer, the project manager, and the janitor. Oh, and I also teach Reformer Pilates. Having multiple gigs on any given day suits me fine, because having multiple gigs during my life got me to where I am. One of my greatest honors was working alongside the founders of Black Diamond Equipment as the North American Sales Manager as that company grew up. Before that, I was the director of business development for an energy efficiency consulting practice. For a while, I was a wind turbine contract negotiator. I cut my teeth in the Portland start-up scene back when Portland was cool, and I taught at the University of Oregon business college. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t apply something I’ve learned along the way to what I’m doing now. I wouldn’t trade any of it, and I wouldn’t go back. If Jessa always takes the path less traveled, I take the one with the most switchbacks and the best views. Together, with our team, we make Rocksteady resonate in the world.
