While kite surfing in the Philippines, Jason Thomas - outdoor endurance athlete and founder of Pili Hunters - tried the delicious pili nut for the first time. He was so blown away by the rainforest-grown pili nut's rich, buttery flavor that he started sharing it with everyone he knew back in the US. Jason's mission became apparent: to introduce U.S. consumers to the nutritious, delicious, and sustainable Filipino pili nut.

Patrick grew up in Colorado and has always had a love for being active, and engaged in life. However at the young age of 28 his active lifestyle was brought to a screaming halt by chronic fatigue. After spending over 200K on doctors without help he was frustrated.  This was the wake up call he needed to step outside of his daily grind, and he made it his mission to do everything possible to heal himself. He found himself drawn to the teachings and practice of yoga, as well as the innovations of modern science. Through healing himself and finding his own balance Patrick was left feeling empty by his corporate America lifestyle and decided to pursue a life of fulfillment by helping others create health and balance in their own lives. His classes focus on having fun, letting go of self doubt, and strengthening our bodies so that they may express their optimal level of human potential.
