Reggie is the founder/chief serving officer of Active Peace LLC – a fusion of yoga/mindfulness teaching and training; sound meditation; political strategy and organizing; and, inspirational/motivational speaking.  

His yoga and meditation practice have served as a sanctuary of peace and perspective while navigating the stresses of being a black man in the world and serving in pressure filled jobs at the height of politics. He began his contemplative practices under extreme emotional distress at work and now works with all walks of life in service to helping people navigate this thing called life with more truth, grace, peace and ease.

Through Active Peace, he offers guidance, teaching and tools/techniques to help others nurture peace of mind, creativity, equanimity in spirit and physical health - helping people commit to well-being as foundational, rather than an afterthought. Reggie has taught Members of Congress, Congressional Staff, major labor unions, educational institutions, leading progressive organizations and individuals from all walks of life - simple tools for managing stress and bringing peace to mind, body and spirit.

Reggie has spent most of the last two decades at the forefront of social change at all levels ranging from grassroots to Presidential politics.  He now advises grassroots organizations on how to effectively campaign and take care of themselves in the process.  Reggie has held many senior strategic and logistical roles across a variety of fields, ranging from global marketing, digital and community organizing, government relations, international education to Presidential campaigning (Kerry/Edwards 2004, 2008 Dem Convention, Bernie Sanders 2016). He recently served as the Congressional Liaison and senior political strategist for MoveOn, managing their relationships, impact and communications with Capitol Hill from 2017 to 2021. While at MoveOn, he played significant roles in the impeachment process as well as bridging the gap between political strategy and connecting grassroots leaders with elected officials.

Reggie's life work sits at the intersection of bringing more peace and balance to activists; guiding the wellness community toward being more engaged, concerned citizens; and, enhancing the well-being of all walks of life.   Achieving this balance is how we catalyze transformative change in our society, which we are desperately in need of at this moment.  He also is passionate about justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI); normalizing grief and loss; and, sharing healing with marginalized communities to enhance our collective well-being (healing retreats for men of color at Kripalu most notably).

Reggie is a featured speaker on politics, strategy, wellbeing, social justice, and civic engagement for leading publications, podcasts and platforms including: Be Here Now Network, The Hill, Mind and Life Institute, Sedona Yoga Festival, SoundsTrue Foundation, Upaya Zen Center, Wanderlust, the Wellbeing Project, Yoga Alliance, Yoga International and Yoga Journal.  

He received a B.A. in philosophy from Yale University and an MBA in international strategy from the Vlerick Business School in Belgium.   He sits on the boards of Netroots Nation, the Global Compassion Coalition, the Accessible Yoga Association and Project Yoga Richmond.
