    Eric Kenyon, Form Is Function

    My name is Eric Kenyon. I am the owner and founder of Form is Function. We serve men and women all over the English speaking world, who want to heal injuries and/or their ongoing pain, so that they can move with confidence, exercise and be physically active, and do all the things they want to do, pain free. I've been a health and exercise coach for 23 years, and a competitive athlete for over 50 years. We have trained people from professional athletes and Olympic medalists all the way to severely injured people who could barely move or even speak. We help people clarify their goals and needs, then we guide them to achieving those goals and beyond. At Form is Function we specialise in serving people who the mainstream fitness culture has left behind; people who hate exercise, or have "tried everything" with only mediocre results, are too weak or injured to exercise, too busy to attend to self care, or who demand results that are not available on the mainstream fitness landscape.

    Oscar Henquet of Rudd Wines

    Rudd Oakville Estate's Managing Director Oscar Henquet discovered his passion for the luxury hospitality industry at a very young age while working with his family's hotel business in The Netherlands. Spending summers amidst vineyards in Provence with his parents, Oscar's exposure to the world of wine started at a young age. One of two children, Oscar grew up in the region where Belgium, Holland and Germany intersect, and as a result, quickly learned the importance and value of understanding various cultures while becoming fluent in the English, Dutch, French and German languages. Oscar received a degree in Hotel Management from the Maastricht School of Hotel Management, founded by his grandfather. Upon graduation, Oscar pursued positions abroad, including an 8-month project in China where he was heavily involved with the opening of Crowne Plaza Chengdu in Chengdu, China. Oscar gained further experience and expertise working at esteemed properties located in Belgium, France and Israel, but it was a trip to New York with his family in 1997 that set his future course: exhilarated by the city's energy and rhythm, he decided to relocate there. It was during this period that Oscar decided his future would be spent in the private hospitality sector, where he would apply his understanding of organizational protocols and internal structure, but maintain the level of attention to detail and personal interaction with guests that had attracted him to the industry. In 2003, Oscar accepted a position as Director of Operations at Nicole Farhi USA, where he managed daily food and beverage operations for five years. While still at Farhi, Oscar opened 202 Restaurant in Chelsea Market, which won New York Magazine's "Best Brunch" Award in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, Oscar accepted the role of General Manager at Rouge Tomate, where he coordinated the restaurant's $15 million 2008 opening. Oscar's achievements and success at Rouge Tomate over the next two-and-a-half years attracted the ever-watchful eye of Graydon Carter and Jeff Klein at Monkey Bar, and in August 2010, Oscar took on the position of General Manager at the trendy midtown restaurant.
