What is NEXUS?
The Nexus is a group of people dedicated to the advancement of society through philanthropy and eco-friendly fun. We work together to create special, one of a kind, epic events and adventures. Past events have included, but are by no means limited to:


             o Island Party, an annual five day music and art festival in Montana
             o theme camp at burning man consisting of over seventy people
             o many different bus adventures stretching from coast to coast
             o too many Red Bull events to list
             o Soul rejuvenation Project in Detroit MI,
             o Big Words Eco-Tour
             o 02/02/02 experience
             o 36 hour Garage Sale Blowout
             o So much more

We work together like a finely tuned machine. We are teachers, artists, musicians, athletes, fire performers, Dj's, bus drivers, mechanics, computer geeks, fathers, mothers, and overall lovers of life. Our goal is to spread this love of life to others who have forgotten how to enjoy themselves, need a little push, or just want to have some good clean fun. We believe the spice of life comes in the form of meaningful human relationships, hard work, education, and play.
Meet the Crew
             Christopher Paul Nowak

Chris is one of the most dynamic, energetic, individuals on the planet. An  uncanny ability to make things happen when they need to using the available resources only increases his luster. On top of that, few people posess his wit and charisma. He is free and wild at heart, but down to earth at the same time. His best asset is his ability to relate with others. Like many other people, Chris has amazingly imaginative ideas. The big difference between Chris and the others is that he routinely brings these ideas to life. He has a healthy sense of community and environment, and an intense love for being alive. He graduated from the University of Montana with a bachelor's degree in Forest Resource Conservation. Before Nexus, he worked with Red Bull on projects such as the Vision Dj Acadamy, Freeze Ride, Teton Gravity research Movierelease party, Montana Cold Smoke Awards, and too many more to list. He is the mastermind behind the Santa Maria, and like GE, "he brings good things to life".


Patrick Teagan Nowak

Patrick's ability to be himself and to give himself to others is what makes him unique. His focus on the positive aspects allow Pat to always keep a positive attitude. The strong sense of commitment he posses helps to push him towards the completion of whatever goal is it hand. If there is a job to be done, he will be the first one there, and will see it through until it is finished. This, coupled with his sense of commitment and his love for others, is what helps him step forward and assume the responsibility making sure that everyone is happy. He is honest and fair, almost to a fault. Patrick loves learning and teaching himself new skills and furthering his worldly education. On top of all of that, he is just as comfortable behind the video camera or editing screen as he is in front of it.

   Randy Sherwood

Organizer and passionate facilitator of all that which is deemed valuable to the human condition, Randy has been working alongside promoters, musicians, and marketing directors, for 8 years with a mission to make things happen that are a step above the norm. Beginning school at USC in Los Angeles, completing an Associate of the Arts degree in Apparel
Manufacturing Management from F.I.D.M., and graduating with a Bachelors in Business Management Economics from the University of California Santa Cruz, he has studied to become a competent manager and project coordinator and regularly puts his skills to the test. His loyal troops of creative conquistadors and emissaries of spunk will attest to their willingness tostand by his side through great trials trusting in his ability to make things work out right. He looks to continue working within the entertainment and music industries carving a niche by creating interactive, fun experiences that are specially designed to break down 
barriers and bring people together. A creative and surprisingly professional worker, Randy is able to take ideas, expand upon them, call on the right people to make them happen, and follow up afterward to insure they did. He is always up for a challenge and revels in opportunities to solve problems. An energetic and fun person to work with, when he becomes excited about a project there is no stopping him

 

      

Daniel Francis Trevisan

Dan is an outstanding teacher, a scientist, a passionate visionary, and a catalyst. He is currently a tenured science teacher at Fraser High School in Michigan, a masters student in Educational Technology at Central Michigan University, and a dynamic seeker of ways to make tangibly positive change in the universe. His attention to detail and organizational skills make him a key administrator, while his creativity and poise make the nerd, yet another one-of-a-kind sensation within the Nexus. Chris and Dan have been best friends for 15 years, making him an honorary Nowak brother. Connections like these exemplify the strengths of the relationships within the Nexus. He believes that a common motivation to realize an honorable vision has helped to create the Nexus. Part of this vision is an educational institution where real-world experiences supplement conventional media and not the opposite. "What if we can all improve the universe by not just following, but chasing our dreams, therefore more potently affecting future events through the quantum mechanics of good energy, "wanting it bad enough", hard work, devotion and love.
