Cody’s Story

Cody has over 30 years of experience in the health and wellness industry and 15 years of experience in nonprofit leadership. Cody has owned, managed, or directed non profits and health and wellness facilities in NYC and Fairfield County, CT. Most recently, Cody oversaw the Ben’s Bells Project Northeast Operations.

Cody is an impactful public speaker and an established author who published his first book in 2022, in addition to contributing to multiple magazines and newspapers. 

Cody has created and engaged in multiple community initiatives working collaboratively with multiple local and national organizations.

This vision was highlighted by the creation and implementation of The Spark Afterschool Program. A collaborative afterschool program that involved multiple community partners to provide culturally enriched programming and opportunities for peer connections. All children need to learn how to take care of themselves physically, socially, and emotionally. 

Cody has built relationships, networks and communities based on collaboration, inspiration, and connection.

When summarizing his career path and choices, Cody has been driven by his "Y". Where he simply feels like a better human being when helping others. This emotion is further enhanced when he’s able to connect others in this process. Cody has reflected that his life and career have been a constant pursuit of learning and teaching others about physical & emotional growth, healing and connection.

From his roots in sports medicine and fitness, to evolving into large scale community initiatives and non profits, Cody has been building his tribe his entire life.
