PROGRAM LEADERS

ROB THELUSMA: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

With a BFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College (Boston), Rob has been able to apply his skill set in creating positive journal writing curricula and love of athletics for diverse and often forgotten ‘at promise’ youth in juvenile detention centers.

A perspective formed from growing up between Queens, NY and Haiti while currently living in Los Angeles has not only made him appreciative of giving back, it has been some of the most rewarding moments of his life.

 

ADAM SUMMER: CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; FUNDRAISING & PROGRAM AWARENESS

A passion for sports and fitness as well as community advocacy and development was a conflation of interests that made Affirmative Athletics the perfect program for Adam to partner with in 2016.

He is also the founder of the world’s leading gym fitness app SHRED, a longtime board member of LA Neighborhood Council, a founder of ADAM SUMMER PERSONAL TRAINING (LA’s top-rated personal training business) and Director of Fundraising & Public Relations for TSF Foundation.  His favorite role is being a daddy and wrestling partner to his four year old son, Ryan.
