Event Agenda


Awards Presentation Master of CeremoniesTom Jordan, WWJ Newsradio 950Tom Jordan, a three-time Emmy award winning journalist, co-anchors the morning news withRoberta Jasina on Michigan’s only all-news radio station, WWJ Newsradio 950, weekday mornings from 5 to 10 a.m. Tom also anchors and reports a weekday segment, “Eye on Detroit”on CBS 62 in Detroit.

Jordan moved to Detroit from San Diego, Calif., in March, 2013, where he was a TV newsanchor and reporter at KUSI News. He previously worked in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, andWashington state.

He has covered some of the nation’s biggest stories, including multiple presidential campaigns; the October2007 Southern California Wildfires; breaking news coverage on the death of former president Gerald Ford; the2002 Winter Olympics; and the downturn in the U.S. economy.

He co-anchored two Emmy award-winning newscasts for coverage of the September 11th terrorist attacks andthe subsequent invasion of Afghanistan. He was also awarded an Emmy for best coverage of the 2007 wildfires.

Keynote AddressPeter Nielsen, Peter’s PrinciplesGrowing up in Brooklyn, New York, Peter was surrounded by an Italian family that lovedto cook Italian pastas, desserts and foods that had excessive amounts of unhealthy fats,but at the age of 15, Nielsen was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and weighed a mere86 pounds. Very little was known about Crohn's Disease in 1977 and even doctors wereat a loss to tell his family how to fend off the crippling attacks of abdominal pain andbleeding, not to mention malnutrition and all of the other ailments caused by poor nutrient absorption. Nielsen was weakened by surgery and the disease, discouraged byhis prognosis, and to top it all off he was overwhelmed-especially considering all of the

usual obstacles teenagers have to face. The writing on the wall seemed to say that Nielsen’s life was going tobe a limited one. Yet, he astonished his family, friends and doctors.

A pivotal period of soul searching revealed truths to Peter that transformed his attitude toward his health, hisbody and especially his life. This is the foundation of Nielsen's message of health, fitness and personal powerthat audiences have come to crave. Understanding physical, mental and daily life challenges, Peter is able toconnect with people on every level and his personal triumphs motivate even the most non motivated person.Nielsen studied nutrition and exercise: he worked with his doctors to create an overall package of health andfitness that became a lifestyle. So began the dedication to health, fitness and lifestyle that propelled him to thetop of the world of body building, earning Nielsen titles like Mr. International Universe, Mr. World and wellover 50 others. He went on to become the first National Bodybuilder selected for Collector's trading cards.Nielsen's success as a health and fitness expert led to numerous local and national television and radio appearances including being on NBC's affiliate station in Detroit for the past 20 years. In March, 2009 PeterNielsen made a decision to join the ABC Affiliate Family; WXYZ Channel 7.

His personal health battles led to an Emmy Award-winning human interest documentary, followed by Nielsen'sown nationally syndicated series, Peter's Principles. The show is complimented by Peter's Principles news andradio vignettes. Peter's mission is to share his message with everyone from the sickest child to the healthiestadults, from the obese to athletic superstars and everyone in between.

ModeratorCassie Sobelton, Founder & CEO, SynbellaCassie’s journey to health started in her early 20s. As a hardworking corporate professional, Cassie wasworking over 60 hours a week and often burning the midnight oil. Investing more time in work meant lesstime dedicated to taking care of her health, which lead Cassie to be diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, achronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. From that moment on she made health in mind,body and spirit a priority in her life. Realizing her corporate commitment was taking a toll on her health, shehad an epiphany that led her to start SynBella – and focus on the importance of corporate employee wellness

programs that are not only comprehensive, but also realistic in today’s fast-paced world. Cassie founded SynBella by meld-ing her unique background of business, government, public outreach, traditional healthcare and holistic wellness.
