The Evolution of a Dream:

The Dream Part I
The Dream Part II

  • January 2008 - My mom, Clara Simmons, was diagnosed with her fourth bout of cancer - Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.  With the possibility of losing my mom, the first seed was planted about how physical activity can help minimize risks and improve recovery time.

  • May 2012 - I developed Bells Palsy. I could barely walk around the block without being winded. This was a brand new feeling for me; but, it taught me to slow down and appreciate the basics of physical activity.  

  • July 23, 2013 -  MAKIN' MOVES launched it's first class with no money, no master plan and less than a dozen people.  I was only equipped with a handful of faithful believers and a vision to transform the world by providing free, fun and family-friendly-fitness experiences.

  • July 31, 2014 - One year and one week from the launch of MAKIN' MOVES, 105 children, women and men were moving more and living better!!

  • March 31, 2016 - My mom, Clara "Mama" Simmons, fought her final fight and earned her wings from a 26 year battle wth cancer. I took several months off and re-evaluated what a return to living would look like.​

The dream continues to evolve. Stay tuned.........
