What does 24 years in high technology have to do with corporate health and wellness events? "Logistics," he explains, is the management and timely delivery, often of products, parts and supplies. In this case, the term includes professional, trained nurses and what they need to do their part in a successful wellness event. "It might be somebody else's job to order it," Knudson explains, "but it's my job to actually get what they order to the right place at the right time and in the correct quantities. Among other things, that involves exact timing and there are lots of things that can get in the way."

Communication is the key to successful event coordination, according to Knudson. "We've spent a lot of time and money on our IT infrastructure. Much of our communication with, for example, our field nurses is automated and we're constantly tweaking and improving it. We use redundant communications; usually email and cell phone contact, to ensure people get their messages as quickly as possible." That same infrastructure, says Knudson, is what enables him to interact with those planning and ordering for an event, those responsible for staffing it, typically V.P. and Director of Nursing, Kate Parnell, and Field Operations Manager Keith Dudney. "It all gets down to timing."

Like his fellow professionals, Knudson believes in what he does for a living. "Once I was fully exposed to our program and what it can do in terms of personal health for employees and, therefore, our corporate clients," he explains, "I became a believer. I began taking better care of myself. I love going to the "Y" and getting in a solid cardio workout. And our company supports that kind of healthy lifestyle; not just in theory but in fact and action. That makes me happy to be here."
